bugshaw at 08:51pm on 01/12/2008The boiler has a habit of, once it has cut out because of the timer and/or thermostat and/or any other reason, not self-starting when the timer/thermostat triggers it on, so one has to press the reset manually. The lights come on on the timer quite happily, but the boiler doesn't fire up.
It has gone from doing this occasionally, to doing it most days, and today so far it has done it three times. By the time I notice (when my fingers stop working happily) the temperature has usually fallen to around 15-16 C.
I threw a lot of money at it when it was happening to the tenants this spring, and it hasn't been resolved satisfactorily. It's a five-year-old boiler in a five-year-old house, and passed a landlord gas safety check in September. I don't know what to do about it other than throw even more money at the sort of people who couldn't find anything wrong with it last time. I don't want to spend the winter with central heating/hot water that effectively runs on a 2-hour manual boost setting only.
