New WB boiler - with tepid 'hot' water!

[mabazza ritchie]

oh...

May just have to leave it then - it was already more than budgeted for!

 

[ShaunCorbs]

if you dont mind what have they done and roughly how much?

 

[mabazza ritchie]

Move boiler (not that far, other side of wall) 1 new rad, 8 trv's, ?mag filter?, take of all rads and wash/flush out with pressure washer as opposed to system power flush. Nest stat. Took from around 730am to 6pm, two ch engineers plus a spark. £3300.

a tad on the high side i would say but cant comment as havent seen the job

 

[mabazza ritchie]

Contacted 4 ch engineers. One had to reschedule except never made another time to come round. One said he would be round and never turned up. One would like me to believe he was the second comming of Christ and there was nobody better that him; he never bothered to send me a quote. Then there was this company who did the job. All four recommended by others.

Does this mean that say during the summer we dont have the heating on, we wont have hot water? if i switch the hw on via the nest will that heat the water only without heating the house, if that makes sense.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

you should be able to just have how water on

you should be able to control the hot water from the nest

you do have a two zone nest ?

 

[mabazza ritchie]

Its a 3rd gen nest, which lets me put the ch on and set temp etc and also have hw on/off/boost. Is that 2zone?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

yes it is

might be worth a try just putting hw on and see if any of the rads heat up because i cant see any port valves in your pics (normally by the cylinder)

 

[mabazza ritchie]

Ch has just been on so will give that a try in the morning. What is the function of the port valves? I just want to be more informed when i get the company back in so they dont try and fob me off - not that i have reason to think they would.
