I've got a baxi 80e combi boiler, think it's about 7 years old - was in the property a few years before me and had had the main Pcb replaced. I'd planned to scrap it (thinking it wouldn't last long) but I've not had to touch it in 3 years, other than replace the dhw diaphragm a couple of times.
It does, however, take a good while before hot water comes out the tap - from cold, a full minute to a tap 15ft away. The gas bill's also pretty high considering size of property/usage - I don't know whether certain things realistically have an impact on efficiency.
So, I'd like to know whether 1 minute would be considered normal operation on this model, or if not what the problem might be. I'd like to know if anything impacts efficiency and also, what a service would involve if there's no specific fault?
Cheers.
