how much is a plumber

[barryauid]

If it was overheating then guess boiler was working, worked on one last week with boiler on light illuminated, had volts to fan but it had seized. Good luck

[barryauid]

This morning, the CH is on, and all of the lights on the boiler is on, and everything is running as it should, no noisey pipes either. I have not touched the HW yet, because i just know it`s not going to work.

 

[hi-spec plumbing heating]

what was wrong with boiler then ?

 

[habbyworld]

I haven`t looked at the boiler, the CH and boiler never really were the problem. It`s when i put the HW ot, it wont work and when i switch the CH off then the boiler goes off completely. Unless something in the boiler has 2 wires the wrong way round or in the control box of the CH and HW thingy or the on switch below it. The pipes are not banging and the walls are not squeaking, so that`s got to be something. The CH is doing as it`s told, so we wont freeze to death. I`ve got gas, so i can still boil afew pans for a bath so we dont stink to death.

try the hw

 

[habbyworld]

OMG... I`ve turned the CH off and the HW on and everything is working.......For now. So it could have been because the stat was wired up wrong...

 

[hi-spec plumbing heating]

all the wiring in the box seems ok. we tested for lives and they where ok and i've looked at pic and it seem alright.
i don't expect someone to wire the stat the wrong way. i thought he wired it from box not just at the stat.

 

[habbyworld]

Pinpointed the problem. It was the faulty tank stat. And now it`s wired up properly, we have toasty hot water and CH.

Your lovely you are, i thank you so much. I didn`t think such a simple thing could cause so many problems.

 

[hi-spec plumbing heating]

it can, but when you don't know how they wired it or what they touched can make it hell to find the fault over the net.

 

[habbyworld]

I know what you mean, unless you are there, such a simple problem can take hours to find. I suppose it`s the same as fixing PC`s over the intenet. Especially s the perso on the other end hasn`t go a clue. Like me i suppose. But i learn fast. I manged to rip out a whole bathroom and replace it within a week with no problms and no leaks and i had nver done plumbing in my life, only what i have seen other people do on the telly and taking to people.

I suppose other people have learned from reading this thread also.

Once again i thank you for all your help.

 

[hi-spec plumbing heating]

is it all working ok now then.

 

[habbyworld]

Yes, at the moment, everything seem to be working fine, although i have not put CH and HW on together yet. I suppose i should.
