Greetings,
We have a 3 or 4 year old WB 37 CDi, vented to the side of out house. It's not a particularly open area round there: walls on 3 sides. It was moved 18 months ago to it's current location, when we had a new room built at the back of the house.
Everytime the wind becomes bad, which has been a *lot* in the last couple of weeks in Fife, the boiler stops working, displaying an EA fault code. It does have to get *really* windy before this happens. Last night for example, I had to press the reset button 5 times in 90 mins, before I gave up, and just stuck the fire in the living room on, and let the rest of the house go cold.
Boiler is serviced every year under a Scottish Gas maintenance contract.
The questions:
if the wind blowing up the flue is indeed the problem, then can something be build around it to stop this happening, but still letting it vent?
Or is there an official add-on to the flue to stop the wind affecting it?
Or do we need to have the flue moved somewhere else (although given the position of the boiler, I don't see where else it can go)?
Will any work be covered by the service contract, or will they claim it's an installation fault?
How fast can a cheetah run?
9*5?
Cheers,
Keith.
