My son called... he's in need of some advice.
He lives in a 3 bed flat in Edinburgh. The boiler is about 4 years old, it was fitted by the council.
Apparently it keeps losing pressure, the engineer came out and said all the boilers on the estate have the same problem. He flushed the system out and said that might sort the problem, - ( it did for a few weeks).
Another engineer came out and said the problem is the boiler is only powerful enough for a 1 bed flat -and thats the problem.
How many BTU's would this particular boiler comfortably handle.?
Would a leaking valve or diaphragm cause this problem?.
I'm wondering if the problem gets better for a while not because they flushed it, but, because the boiler was re-filled after flushing.
Thanks in advance
