CH OK, but no HW from my Brittony!

Hi there,

Had a guy come a while ago and tell me that I needed a new diverter valve as I had no hot water, but the CH was fine. Had one guy out today, saying it wasn't the diverter valve, but the PCB's that needed replacing, costing £250 + VAT for parts and another £125 for labour. This on top of the £45 to tell me it! Can anyone tell me who may be right please? The wife is getting sick of boiling the kettle!

Thanks

What happens when you turn a tap on? Does the boiler fire up at all?

Hi there

The boiler does fire up, just no hot water from the taps.

Cheers

Hi there,

Its a combi 80. I'll check the rads tonight, but its not often I turn the tap on anymore, as its been like this for a while. Almost gave up! Not sure what he checked to tell the truth.
