Hello geniuses.
I am a cretin. It must be the case because numerous, highly qualified people have told me so over the years.
In light of my lack of intelligence, please be gentle with me.
I live in a house.
A house which has a BG330+ boiler, installed by our chums from BG some 3-4 years ago.
It has performed flawlessly. Until 5 days ago.
One morning, after putting on my wellies and straw hat, I noticed that it was colder than expected.
The radiators were cold.
The airing cupboard and pipe work therein was warm, suggesting that the water heating had worked BUT, it could still have been warm from the previous evening, though my instinct felt otherwise.
I checked the thermostat which has a digital display, the little “flame” was on (still in the morning timer session).
I checked the boiler which had not ignited and felt as cold as the North side of a January gravestone by moonlight.
I researched.
A suggestion to turn the boiler thermostat up to 82 degrees worked.
Next morning, same problem, same (temporary) solution.
Following two mornings, worked gloriously; I felt as warm as a beautiful smile in a sea of grim faces.
This morning, cold again. The 82 degree thermostat adjustment worked.
I have my mother in law coming for Christmas so the house will feel 10 degrees colder.
Reminds me that I still need to repair her broomstick.
Any suggestions/ideas/comments/jokes/questions/donations are very welcome.
