    HW/CH Noise

    Some boilers have an in built timer on the pcb that starts the pump up for a short period every 24 hours to make sure it doesnt stick They also have an in built frost that that would kick in if temp drps below 5 degrees but still too warm for that and you would feel heat in the pipes

    If not a gas leak, why the smell of sulphur "rotten eggs" in kitchen?

    People can smell certain stuff differently . Just because you have turned gas off doesnt mean there is not a leak before the valve It is completely free to call out the emergency service and they certainly do not mind false alarms so give them a call to rule out it being a gas leak 0800 111 999
