We recently moved into a new house with an oil boiler. It's a Warmflow 70/90 and it has the following issues:
There's a Warmflow information plate on the expansion vessel which has a date code of 04 02 17. Does this mean the boiler was installed in 2017? It looks much older than 3 years, I wonder if it's 2004? If the boiler is 16 years old, is it worth throwing more money at it or looking at a new boiler?
- H/L Resets - This occurs when the boiler gets too hot I believe. I managed to alleviate this issue somewhat by turning the CH thermostat down to less than 50%. H/L Resets only seem to occur when central heating system is fired up.
- Pressure - Pressure range is between just under half a bar and ~1.5 bars. Is this an acceptable range?
- Variance in water temperature - Sometimes the water just isn't hot enough. The max temperature I've seen from a tap is just over 40C. Last night I turned up the heat store thermostat to max and we had acceptable temperature in the showers, but this morning the H/L Reset tripped again. I've turned the heat store thermostat down a little bit to see if H/L Reset happens again.
- Mixer valve
- DHW pump
- Expansion vessel - The old one was leaking.
