Hi all, I’ve had boiler trouble before, and it was fixed by Warmfront, by a new boiler..now this new boiler decides to provide no central heating. In the middle of winter. Then it decides that hot water isn’t available, but heating is available. So I get an engineer in, and he replaces the sensor, to no avail, and then another engineer replaces the diaphramn to no avail.
But after this second engineer visit, when the system is pressurised, and central heating works, it will randomly leak water from the bowels of the boiler, all over my kitchen. Even if the boiler is not functioning at the time, water spews, and the boiler turns itself on! Many leaks. Many floods.
So in the space of 10 years I’ve had two boilers that have failed. I’m told that an integral part of the boiler needs to be replaced (divertor valve?) @ over £100+fitting; are boilers THAT unreliable? I know people that have 25 year old boilers, so why make something that won’t last 5 years?
So a boiler that won’t provide central heating, then does, then won’t provide hot water, and less than 5 years old, and the manufacturer doesn’t care? Apart from buying a house, or car, surely buying a central heating system is the next most expensive purchase of your life?
An engineer attempts a repair and fails, but leaves the appliance leaking water all over my kitchen, and refuses to fix that? It didn’t leak before he came. He ‘supposedly’ replaced a part, that was obviously broken, but I am left to mop up the mess.
