I am in a new build with a new system (appx 6yrs old)
I had a plumber come round last week, as my rads were not working as efficiently as they should (cold at bottom, they have never been brilliant the whole time i have been here). I was still getting some heat and hot water was fine.
He checked that they didnt need bleeding. He then ordered a new pump for the boiler, came back 4 days later and installed, he also drained the boiler from the outside pressure relief valve, but said he was having a few problems with the display, but to leave the heating switched off so not to damage the new pump. He then went on to say that maybe it would be a good idea to get the system flushed. He came by the next day as I now had no hot water, he told me that the element has burnt out on the immersion. he also suggested it might be a better idea to get a new boiler installed, as he felt my "Ideal Icos" wasn't sufficient to heat my house (its 6 beds, 19 Rads).
I then got another plumber round and he tested the main PCB and it wasn't working, (I'm thinking that the 1st plumber done something to the PCB which is why he told me to not turn it on, and is saying its coincidental). Do you think im being ripped off? Also could my immersion heater not be working becausethe Main PCB in the boiler is not working?
