I wonder if anyone can help. For the third time in 2 months I have no hot water, although my central heating is working fine. On the previous occasions I have called British Gas under 3-star agreement. The first time the guy said it was air in the pipes and fixed it in 5 mins, the second time it took longer to fix and apparently was not just air but also hydrogen caused by corrosion. The engineer said it may happen again as my boiler was so old - it is a Potterton and is at least 20 yrs old. He recommended a new boiler and a powerflush.
Is he right or does he just want to make a sale? Is there anything I can do short-term to fix the problem. And lastly how much should a new boiler and powerflush cost me -
it is a bog-standard boiler (not combi) in a 3-bedroom house
Thanks
