Could anyone help?
I have a gravity based central heating system, which has appeared to work fine over the last 12 months...
However, now I have hot water but not heat coming to the radiators? After some investigation I found that the when the hot water in the hot water tank reaches the desired temperature it the thermostat turns off the pump, as it should, but that means no hot water is moved into the radiators. If I turn up the temperature setting on the hot water tank's thermostat the radiators begin to warm up, but so does the water in the tank?
This means in order to heat the house I have to have the hot water temperature set to 75C, far to hot for me and I'm sure the system too. Why is the hot water thermostat controlling the pump to the central heating? I turned of the hot water and have just left the central heating on, but the hot water is still heated? Is it wired up incorrectly?
If someone could advise I would be very grateful. Everything in my system seems to be working correctly it just I have to boil my airing cupboard to warm my house.
Thank you
