Hi
I have had problems with my syntesi losing pressure for a long time. I used to have it serviced by BGas but it hasn't been done for a couple of years. However I still had problems when they serviced the boiler. Anyhoo, when I run a bath and had the heating on the boiler would switch off. It would depressurise for no reason and then it would be okay for months. I decided to get someone to look at the boiler as every time I ran a bath I was having problems. The boiler was also not switching on properly. I thought there was a loose connection somewhere.
Very difficult to know if you are getting a proper tradesman even after checking reviews etc. This plumber/heat engineer came out and said he couldn't find anything wrong with the boiler. He did say that some switch which switched between hot water and heating was making a loud click which he had never heard before. He therefore changed this and charged me for the call out. A couple of days later the boiler would not start so I called the guy again. He said he would get out as soon as possible. I kept trying and eventually the boiler started working. I let him know it was not as urgent and he said he would come out the following week.
This was about two weeks ago. I put my heating on tonight and it worked fine. I had just returned from a few days away but my son had said he had used the heating and it was okay. After a while I felt it getting cold in the house and checked to see if the heating had been turned off. There was no pressure at all and I believe there was an error code d1. I tried to refill the boiler but water was pouring everywhere.
I have now left the drain valve open as I could not stop the water pouring out. The heating had been working fine and then this happened. Any suggestions on what may have happened? It is 12:30am so I can't contact the plumber but I will be phoning him later in the morning.
