Okay guys thanks for your answers to my last post, you said diaphram for the hot water problem which was spot on, now for my real dilemma.
I phoned various plumbers to actually fix my hot water problem and as soon as I mentioned the Biasi boiler they did not want to know.
I was left with no option but to take out cover with British Gas Homecare at £27 pounds a month.
Day 1: Engineer appears at house, carrys out a full service and tells me the diaphram is the problem for not getting any hot water, bear in mind that my heating has been fine for years. He tells me that he does not have the right part to fit, so he will make an appointment for new part to be fitted tomorrow. But not in the morning as they do not fit parts in the morning?
Day 2: Another engineer arrives at house in afternoon with correct diaphram and within five minutes it's fitted and the hot water works again. he leaves the house and ten minutes later my wife phones me at work and tells me that there is no hot water now and the heating will not come on. she bitterly complains to British Gas call centre, another appointment made for the following day.
Day 3: A young engineer appears at house and fiddles with the pump screw and emptys some water, adjust little air screw thingy on top of boiler, turns two white valves on my kitchen radiator which has no thermostat, bangs on pipes underneath boiler and tells me it's sludge, £700 hundred pounds for power flush. He also checks contacts inside boiler with his meter. He does however finally manage to get heating and water working.
He leaves my house, I turn the hot tap on and no water, I scream and phone call centre, another engineer comes out immediately and says the other engineer forgot to turn back on the blue valve under boiler, viola water comes on out of hot tap.
two hours later the radiators go cold, the boiler lights up and immediately shuts down, the temp goes to 60 and switches off, the needle does eventually rise to 90, but no effect on radiators, all still cold.
Day 4: 5am this morning, all the radiators fire up very hot through set timer, and the heating has been working all morning up till this time at 8.50am.
Please help, I need a good argument to get this damn Biasi Boiler fixed properly, this will be a total of five so called corgi registered engineers in total who cannot seem to get to the bottom of this intermittent fault, please bear in mind that my heating has been working for years, since the second engineer fitted the diaphram to fix hot water which did not last for long, my heating has now become a major problem.
Engineer will call today between 2.00pm and 6.00pm. need advice quickly, much appreciated.
I told British gas that if they cannot repair boiler then I want to cancel my cover.
The fan in top of boiler seems to be quite noisy, and the boiler sometimes sounds like my flippin stomach, water gurgling very noisily in the boiler.
Boiler is only five years old.
