Hello – any advice on gas boilers appreciated.
Ours spectacularly burnt out its electrical controls a couple of years back and we had it rebuilt at significant cost (around £600 I recall, as many parts were obsolete). It’s never been right since and I know I shouldn’t turn it right off as it tends to blow the main circuit breaker on trying to restart.
Anyhow, went away for a day and stupidly turned it off and now it’s back to blowing everything out again on turning it on. I am going to try to get hold of the chappie who looks after it, but anything obvious I may be missing (I suspect it’s one of those things you have to see really)? It seems to need the room it’s in warming up before it has any chance of getting going, so I suspect damp may be getting to it somehow.
Am very loathe to replace it although I suspect one day it may never run again. (I also suspect it’s a bit underpowered for the house as it thrashes away for ages to start getting any heat through, but that’s another story). If it does come to having to replace it (and I hope not), are there any decent ( ie reliable) makes out there or are they all made of cheese now?
Just asking really as I sit here in the cold yet again!
Thanks in advance
