Hi,
I have just moved into a 1930s based 3 bed semi which has an old Glowworm ep50f Economy plus boiler in room under the stairs and water tanks up in the loft.
I have a couple of problems (i) Water dripping out of overflow when heating on and (ii) the boiler seems to struggle when getting to higher temps (as it will come on as required and water and radiators heat up ok and then it will stop.. at first I thought it was the room thermostat but I have change it (the existing one looked horrible anyway). It will then constantly heat up for a couple of mins and then stop for 10 secs and then heat up again...
As I am covered by BG homecare I have called them out, but I thought I would experts before BG arrive (only joking)
If I were to replace the boiler what make should I be looking at and what rough figure should I be planning to spend (I would want the installer to take all the crap from the loft too)
Any help would be much appreciated.
