Hi
Having a bit of problem with my central heating system - can anyone help please?
Basically, when central heating control box is switched to 'hot water - on', the boiler fires up. However, switch it to 'central heating - on', and the boiler will not fire up, and will just remain on the pilot light - that's why I thought the old room thermostat was faulty, and have replaced it. However, adjusting the new room thermostat results in the same problem - ie. it has no affect on the boiler.
I've set the 3-way actuator in the airing cupboard to 'manual', so we at least have central heating - now, the hot water goes to the water tank and the central heating system, so you can't have one or the other, only both on or both off.
The boiler is an old Baxi Bermuda back boiler, but as it can still fire up and provide hot water and heating, it seems to be OK. The room thermostat is a Terrier TRT1, and the heating / hot water control and timer box is an old Landis & Gyr unit. I guess there is some sort of fault in the control system - before I give in and reach for the Yellow Pages - anyone got any ideas?
Thanks again
James
