Hi
I've just had a Landlord's gas safety check done on my boiler, which is a Myson Apollo Fanfare Si. The boiler seems to work fine, accept there's a pronounced hissing noise in the pipes now when there wasn't before, and the boiler fires up for about 1 min before switching itself off and restarting a minute or two later. Looking through the small spyhole into the boiler itself, I see there is a strip of metal that turns redder and redder - I presume this is thermostat? When it's glowing red, the boiler cuts out.
So, it looks like the boiler fires up for a minute or two, before cutting out once the TC turns red.
My question is this: is this normal following a Landlords' gas safety check (and presumably service)? It did not do this before, there was no hissing and there definitely wasn't a strip of metal that turned redder the longer the boiler was on.
I'm leaving the house on Friday, so need urgent advice. The "engineers" that did the work were about 12 years old and were very unprofessional, so I'm worried that they're either incompetent and/or wideboys looking for repeat business.
Anyone got any thoughts?
Ta.
