We're gonna get cold! - rads.

Hi,

Stumbled aross this site from Google, looks like some knowledgeable people on here so thought I'd pick your brains.

Now I don't know much about this sort of thing so excuse my ignorance.

Anyway, lived in my house for about 2.5 yrs and never had any heating/hot water problems.....until about 2 days ago. None of my rads (upstairs or downstairs) are working at all, the pipes that go into the floorboards are stone-cold too. No problems with my hot water though.

My boiler (it's a big old thing) is a 'Worcester Bosch Highflow 400' and the "control" I use to turn on the heating is a 'Potterton EP2001'.

Usually when I turn on my heating, there's an "ignition" type noise but it doesn't happen anymore.

Anyone able to offer some assistance?

first thoughts on this are diverter valve ,then in no particular order programmer or room stat ,does the room stat click, is the programmer switched on,i know this is is obvious but its worth checking

........And does the pump run when the heating is switched on?

The pump in the boiler is running all the time.

Not sure what a diverter valve is. Soz. Like I say, I don't know much about this sort of stuff at all. I know, I know, how do I get through life, I hear you say!!??? LOL!!

We don't have a room thermostat, only thing for the temps are on the rads.

i think its time to call an engineer,its not going to be something you can fix, unless you fancy testing the solenoid on the diverter and then draining down the boiler

LMAO!!! Testing the what???!!!!! Yeah, completely agree. My Dad's just called a mate.

Thanks anyway.
