So; go to switch heating on last night after freezing ride home. Lights come on on thermostat,but nothing on boiler,no pilot light or anything else.(gas) Boiler/house is 5 years old, tell me it is more likely to be electrical and I am not likely to have to fit a new boiler a couple of months before I sell up.
If its 5 years old it shouldn't need a pilot light, they went out (pun not intended. But it is a good one!) with the ark!
Had the same issue, turns out my problem was a faulty receiver to the thermostat!
Does the boiler come on when you turn the hot water on?
No martin, nothing comes on.No lights on the boiler at all.
Checked the fuse that feeds the power?
You do seem to have alack of power as some lights should come on
If the boiler power light isn't on, then there's most likely going to be a problem with the power for the boiler or something electrical- if it's anything like ours, gas problems cause flashy lights to happen.
Pretty obvious but have you checked all the fuses (ours there is one in the boiler itself, one where the external power switch for the boiler is, and obviously the main circuit breaker or fusebox).
Have you checked the water pressure. A pressure drop will stop your boiler from firing.
Our boiler and timer went off last week. After a bit of testing, it turned out that the heating was pump shorting-out and blowing the fuse at the spur to the boiler/heating.
I fitted a new pump and all was fine again (in fact the heating is now far better than at any time in the previous 2 years that we've lived here)
