Hi guys,
my mum lives in a council house and has had 3 different plumbers out all coming out with different faults but as it stands not one has been sorted.
hw seems fine but ch is giving all sorts of trouble she has a pumped system with the f&e tank and a hot water cylinder.
so recently the rads started to not feel as hot and has got worse, when ch is called for the boiler seems to fire up for around 30secs until it reaches 74 then stops the temp goes down to about 40-50 for around 5mins then fires up again for another 30secs and stops and just keeps on doing this, now the ch pump seems to be running while the boiler is not suggestion the water should be hot enough but the rads are only lukewarm and some colder then others.
just cannot put my finger on the issue pump seems fine, 3 port valve seems to be working it’s just the boiler but no error codes flashing up??
any ideas? Plumbers that have come 1st one just said boiler was insufficient but working as soon as he left it stoped, the 2nd said possibly pump but he will have to request a new one but said all was working so left and again stoped and the 3rd said it possibly has low water pressure so also recommended new pump but no action has been taken.
as it’s getting very cold now my mum is of age and it’s affecting her quite a lot.
would appreciate any help and advice.
