We had a Halstead Ace High Comi installed just over a year ago in an upstairs bedroom and have had absolutely no problems with it whatsoever. But recently there are two things which ahve occurred on which I wouold like some advice.
• Firstly, when the boiler clicks on to start heating, whether for general water, or heating, for the duration of the time it is on, a regular 'sparking' sound can be heard coming from near the top of the unit. Halstead sent an engineer out to look at it, but they said there was no problem – this has never affected performance, but I would just like to set my mind at rest!
• More recently (and I think, unconnected) the water from the hot bath tap (in room next to where boiler is located) has intially started runnning fine, but then reduces gradually to a sorry dribble. The sink next to the bath is fine, however. My old man seems to think this is due to an airlock, but he didn't know it was a combi boiler – surely it isn't safe to remedy this (i.e. force air back through the system) in the normal way, in the case of it being a combi?
Any help very much appreciated!
