Just to make it very clear from the outset, the purpose of this post is not to seek advice to enable me to carry out repairs myself but to educate myself to avoid being ripped off.
I have just moved to a home which is fitted with an Ideal Icos HE24 boiler (same as my previous home) and it seems to make some horrible banging when firing up/ running.
Having done a little bit of research, the condensate trap comes up a few times amongst other things but more worryingly despite turning the heating off on the programmer (Drayton Tempus 2 + 2 x Drayton Digistat3) the boiler status still shows as "c" and the "burner on" neon led is still flashing away?
It also seems that the boiler still wants to fire up?
Am I missing something in the way this system/set up operates?
Unfortunately the previous home owner wasn't very good at getting the system serviced as it hasn't been touched since being installed in 2007 according to the records so that obviously needs to happen once I find someone to do this for me.
Any advice or suggestions greatly appreciated.
