    Boiler starts when no hot water taps open

    Hi, I've just had a brand new combi boiler installed just a few days ago. I've noticed that the boiler will fire up randomly with the tap light flashing meaning it's providing hot water.

    How long should I have my hot water coming on a day?

    I guess it all depends on the number of people living in a property and whether you have a shower everyday etc. But what's the recommended time I should have my hot water coming on a day. My local plumber stated an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening - seems excessive to me. Any thoughts?

    We’ve recently installed brand new taps everywhere, including a 3-in-1 boiler tap, new pipes, new boiler in the loft. Hot water only comes through the bath tap. When the bath tap is turned on, the hot water will then come out all the other taps, but it doesn’t when they’re on their own...
