well the rest of us certainly don't know!!!

This is a DIY site. Can't you even be arsed to tell us what make and model the boiler is? Or if you have a hot water cylinder?

You will have to have a look at it. take some pics if you can. Have a look at how heating systems work by reading //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=39508
and //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=37170

If you can't be bothered, ask around for a good local heating engineer.

C'mon guys, start chanting, and then we can all visualise the boiler make and model

I'm seeing a rectangular white one. And some copper pipes. Right so far?

Charades are out so let's play Twenty Questions:

1. Didn't you get a survey on the house and a report on the heating system before you bought it?

2. Do you have access to your loft?

3. Does the keypad thing have any info on it such as a maker's name or a model number (it could be on the back)

4. What does the keypad thing do?



The rest will follow when you have answered these!
