Hi,
Our radiators don't appear to be getting as hot as they used to be and neither does the hot water.
We have an Ideal Gas Boiler with a hot water cylinder upstairs which is a unvented indirect cylinder I think.
The boiler fires up ok and hot water leaves the boiler, the boiler stays on for around 2 minutes before turning itself off for a while.
Last weekend the radiators did really heat up properly and kicked out plenty of heat but then went back to how it is now, just warmish radiators which doesn't always take the edge off the cold.
Is it possible that the boiler is switching itself off too early based on the temperature of the water that is coming back into the boiler. From previous experience when we had a similar problem a year or so ago, an engineer replaced the PCB and the thermistor saying that the boiler was switching off too early. It may be the same fault but i'm not sure how likely this is.
Also they had recommended a powerflush but i'm not sure if this is just a sales ploy.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
