Hi,
I moved into my house five years ago, a new build and my central heating is still playing up.
Last week a new pump was fitted and all radiators bleed. its a system where the hot water tank is out in a shed in the garden and the bolier is beside the hot tank. I have a mains fed cold water system so no cold tank in attic.
All radiators both up and downstairs heat ok for about 1 hour then about 4 of them cool down considerably until they go almost cold. the only way i can get them to go hot again is to put on the 'boost' button which is the button that you press to put the hot water on.
When a bath is run the radiators cool down and some go almost cold both up and downstairs.
I have an electric shower and the only way to have any sort of a hot shower is to put the central heating on. I have never known an electric shower to be linked to the central heating system.
My next door neighbours have similar problems . Both our houses used to be one big house and then it was renovated into two smaller houses.
The landlord rang today to tell me that the bolier repair man is coming out to change the plates on the boiler. I do not know what plates in a boiler are. Surly it's a more complicated problem involving the entire water system in the house.
Any advice would be most welcome.
Thanks,
jaytee
