Hi,
I keep having to replace my Sunvic actuator. I am inept when it comes to plumbing so I have always got a plumber in to do the job, but after a few months it starts making a grating noise that keeps me awake at night, so I have to switch the whole heating system off to shut it down. Now I think it's finally packed up altogether. The symptoms are: Boiler still comes on sporadically (seems to be working only enough to heat the water). Water is hot. Bathroom radiator is hot. No other radiators are working. Do I need to change the actuator? Can someone incompetent do it themselves so as to save yet another plumbers bill? Why does it keep breaking (about once a year)? Is it necessary to change the whole actuator or can I just get a new motor for it?
Thanks
