DHW sensor or Div/Valve cartridge fault most likely. Have you noticed if your radiators begin to heat while the tap is running?

I assume you're not carrying this work out yourself? A RGI will be able to do the pipe sizing for you.

well, yes it does Short circuit is the correct term. Continuity just means that its not open circuit - that there is a conductive path. It's a term used by those who do not have the correct equipment or who don't understand how to use it Well, no it doesn't A short circuit relates...

Either, water leak, pressure relief valve passing or expansion vsl needs re-charged or replaced. Martin

The quck answer would be yes. Your combination boiler heats up the water as you use it and therefore doesn't require a store of hot water.... Much more efficient..... However, I would never pay, or charge some-one £1000 to connect it. All that needs done is, cold mains to domestic inlet of...

Either that or the fan venturi Martin

Hi, The isar has a built in hot water preheat which will cause the boiler to fire periodically whether you have created a heating demand or not. do the rads heat when it fires at these odd times? Martin

There really isn't a correct answer here...... it depends on the immersion you are using if it's a direct cylinder, and depends on the heat input of the applance you're using if it's indirect (I assume we're taking gas???)....... It's probably cheaper to do it indirectly with gas too...

Hi a thermistor works based on resistance. the higher the temp of the water the greater the resistance across the thermistor, thus modulating the burner down to maintain a constant temp. In essence the thermistor resistance could be higher than it should be, in effect telling the boiler...

Hi, Don't know the boiler particuarly well, but sounds like a DHW thermistor fault to me. Hopefully, someone else here knows the appliance better than i do. Martin

welcome to the mad house.....

When you were carrying out the work (after re-filling the system), did you open the boiler??? Sounds ilke the pump may have been air locked. What is the current system pressure?? Martin

1CANHELP, No dis-respect, but I find your comments on BG/SG engineers rather unfair. I have come across quite a few engineers who completed a 3 or 4 year app, and quite frankly wouldn't have trusted them to wire a plug.... In return I know engineers who completed the year and a half course...

Hi, To be honest, a lot of the "bad press" comes from ex employees, who's opinions are based on their own bad experiences of working for them..... As an employer they have faults ( as does any company) However, you can be sure that if BG do your install, you're warranty will be honered, and...

Sorry, should have asked, what is the current system pressure???? When you say you opened the bleed valve, do you mean on the towel rail, or the pump inside the boiler??? Martin
