Hi,
We have a 5 year oil warmflow combi boiler. Until last year it was regularly serviced by a qualified engineer. It has been a troublesome boiler with leaks and excessive heat ( I think) onnthe top of the boiler casing.
For a little while now it has begun to smell when the boiler is working.
I think it must be a combustion issue?
We live in open countryside, when the wind blows directly at the exhaust opening, the smell seems worse.
Is there anything I can do to rectify or cure this ongoing problem. I am going to buy a carbon monoxide monitor for the small room it is in. There is a hardwired carbon monoxide detector immediately outside on the ceiling, it has never gone off.
I'll enclose some photos of the boiler.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Peter.
