change in boiler flame intensity ?

[DavieMc]

what would cause this ? CH isn't as warm either. looks like it isn't burning the same volume of gas ...

Most common is the boiler modulating down due to reaching the required temperature; this is perfectly normal.

wouldn't be a ravenheat by any chance

 

[DavieMc]

this is a sudden development though, definately not firing up as strong as it normally would ...

ferroli optima 700. I've posted previously with an other issue (unable to get decent hot water flow) and now this has happened. Was going to order new HW and CH temp. sensors but not sure what to do now ...

Could be low gas pressure in house! Ie fault with the supply

Do you still get decent hot water/heating?

Do you have a gas hob in your house? and if so what is the flame picture like?

You are Otherwise unable to measure pressures as its a job for Gas safe engineer.

it was the simplest thing , I'm an idiot !

checked the cupboard where the gas meter is, the Mrs has sat a small cardboard box in it which had leaned on the supply lever. turned it round and -SORTED.

feel a bit of a tw@t now.

I'd put her over my knee, and put some colour on those cheeks.

 

[DavieMc]

just chuffed it's fixed
on the plus side I have familiarised my self with the manual, not exactly a great evening read after a hard days work.

better get me some boiler cover ... anyone you experts would recommend ?

Most are crap. Not always easy to find, but what you want is an insurance that let's you call in a pro, and then re-reimburse you.

Companies like homeserve pay extremely badly and attract a lot of poor quality people.
