Hello.
I wonder if someone can help.
We have noticed 2 issues in our house over the last couple of weeks . We have a Glow Worm Ultracom 24cxi combi boiler and have never had problems with it previously
1) central heating always/near constantly on. We have 2 small radiators and a towel rail none of which don't have a TRV which are the ones that stay on. Obviously able to control the other ones via TRVs.
2) Reduced hot water temperature from taps. Kitchen tap next to boiler approx 43. Upstairs basin tap around 38. Shower mixer tap around 37. The boiler engineer we had put suggested this is due to drop in air temp leading to reduced water in temp from mains hence drop in hot water temp however this doesn't really make sense as this has not occurred in previous winters
What have we done:
Had boiler checked by a heating specialist - no problems with the boiler identified. Their suggestion was that it could be the wireless thermostat/controller and interference from wireless router which I really do not think is the case. Have also changed the batteries in the thermostat which made no difference.
I don't think it's a problem with the thermostat within the shower mixer tap.
My layman's thoughts were could it be a diverter valve issue or could it be related to high water pressure as we also have pipes that bang when water is turned off which possibly indicates water pressure is too high.
Please let me.know any advice or guidance.
Thanks
