hot water only when central heating is switched on

[george_m]

Hi,

I've just purchased a new house that has a baxi solo 3 pf boiler, which is used for the central heating. I also have a hot water tank for the hot water. I have noticed that in order for me to get hot water from the taps, I have to have the central heating switched on, in addition to switching the hot water tank on too.

Would I not be right in saying this shouldn't be the case.

Should my bolier not be able to provide both hot water for the central heating as well as the taps ?

Thanks in advance.

George

Sounds as if you have a failed motorised valve!
