I am just wondering if anyone could shed any light on our problem.
We have a Worcester 24i RSF Combi boiler, in rented accomodation, and have had no end of trouble with it. Last year we had no heating or hot water for over a week, the system was descaled and parts replaced. The problem seemed to start with leaking hot water taps.
Again this year we had no heating and hot water for almost a fortnight at the coldest part of the year. I told them that both hot water taps were leakng again, but they said that couldn't be the problem. They again replaced parts (including the fan), and it worked, although the hot water pressure was not the same as before. The cold water pressure is fine, we can't go turning that up any more really.
Now we have leaky dribbling hot water taps, and no hot water unless the heating is on. When the heating is on the radiators are lethally hot, despite having been turned down, and the hot water comes out at an equally lethal temperate, and trickles out. It took one hour to run a tiny bath of water for my son, for example.
I am guessing this is not really safe - should we be using this system at all until someone is called out? I am always worried about any major problems, especially with a child around. Any ideas why this could be happening?
I can't imagine having to go another 9 days with no heating or hot water, especially considering we have a baby and another on the way. I have turned it off for now, after I noticed how hot the radiators are.
So sick of useless landlords, why will they just not replace the whole thing?
Thanks in advance.
