Hi
I would be really grateful if anyone has any advice on this situation.
Due to overflow, I recently had a new hot water cylinder. The plumber was unable to initially work out if the Aga/boiler or both were heating the hot water. Once he dismantled the existing cylinder turned out it was a twin coil cylinder as opposed to the single coil cylinder he had with him. Old cylinder was very very very furred up and plumber advised that it probably wasn't functioning at all well and Aga would have been unable to heat the water. Rather than get a replacement twin coil cylinder he said he could cap off pipes and use single coil cylinder he had with him and status quo situation restored. Problem arose as soon as he left as the heating came on when the hot water was on. Turned out that the three way valve had gone on the boiler and that this needed to be replaced too at a cost of £500 - system needs draining down - large house. Prior to this never had a problem with independent hot water and heating. Does this sound right, sorry I am clueless. Thanks.
