Hi,
I've just moved house but kept my old place and rented it out as it wasn't selling. So we stretched ourselves to get both places but we are in and sorted now. I had both boilers in each house serviced and in the rental I had the certificate done. The plumber who it's a mate says the gas valve is leaking a tiny bit into the flue. It's a glowworm 30cxi. I'm still waiting for a price to replace it but is that a common fault? I've got home emergency cover with my home insurance that covers labour and parts up to £100 but I'm not sure how or if I could lean on them for it.
The second one it more of a bother as I'm living there
. It's a potterton puma 100. The first problem is the lifestyle thermostat, it's pants, it turns the CH off for less than a minute then back on. That can't be efficient or good for the boiler? I have a Honeywell CM67 but I suspect the lifestyle one is running 240v.
The house has been empty for a while and when we moved in we had to repair a few leaks. The CH is very noisy, it sounds like loud drips but i think it's bubbles being moved round or blocked in the system. Every two days I have to go and top up the water pressure back up to 2 bar as if I leave it the pressure goes to nothing on the gauge and the boiler is knackered for 20 mins. I did see water leaking from the pressure relief valve but I stopped that. To me it sounds like air is getting into the system but I guess that could only happen with water escaping? I can't find any leaks or wet spots anywhere. Again, I've got home emergency cover so I'm not sure if i should use it.
Cheers
Jon
