I have a Baxi Duetec boiler in a property I rent out and can’t understand what is going on with it.
The tenants told me the radiators were getting hot when their children had a long shower.
I called out my normal gas safe person, he cleaned out the heat exchange and it all seemed to be working, he said there was some bits of rubber in the heat exchange. (I tested it before he left and could not feel the CH pipes getting hot.)
About a week later the tenants informed me that the radiators where once again getting hot when they use the DWP. (I have tested it and can confirm this.)
The heating has not been used in the mean time.
My normal gas safe person says I should get the system flushed, and then get him back to clean out the heat exchanger again. He will not take reasonability for the problem coming back and his “fix” not working.
I can’t understand how a blocked heat exchange would allow the radiators to get hot if the diverter value was working correctly.
I can get bexi to fix the boiler for a large fixed cost this will also give me 1 year of cover.
Thoughts please…..
