Hi there,
can someone please help me!
Last night my combi boiler decided not to give me any hot water or even heat the radiators. If I switch it to HW only and turn a tap on, I hear the boiler atempt to get going but the noise of what I think should be the fan starting up sounds different! An then the RED & YELLOW lights start flashing together on the front panel. Also there isn't anything coming out of the flue! Having looked in the manual at this flashing light sequence, it indicateds that this is either down to a faulty flue or fan.
So today I managed to get a heating engineer round to look at it and within 5 minutes he said that I needed a new board inside the boiler which is rather expensive! So said that the manual pointed to a fan/flue fault and has he checked them. He said no he didn't need to as he's had this problem loads. Have I got a cowboy? I know I can get a new fan for the boiler for around £70 but I think the main board is gonna cost alot more. Can I ask any specific questions?
Should I get a second opinion?
He's coming again tomorrow at around 11am with the part so I'll need to halt him earlier if I can.
Your help as always is greatly appreciated!
Best wishes
Cameron
