I have bought a property and this has a boiler and an immersion heater with a pump. If electric heater is off the boiler should heat the water as well.
I have reinstated the water pressure as the old vendor has drained the whole system. As long as I had these airlocks the boiler was complaining about lack of flow so I have released the remaining air using the valve near the tank / water pump the boiler no longer complaints about that but now it is not igniting.
I went to basics and wondering if the gas is actually flowing.
Couple days ago I have open the valve next to a gas meter then I also activated the gas smart meter. When I selected Emergency Credit it said something about "opening a valve" which took about a minute then an audible click. I thought everything is set but the boiler goes in circles and I don't smell any gas unlike I smell in the gas meter cabinet. There is this gas pipe for the cooker. I thought I try and see if gas is coming out of it and I pressed that ball inside the connector valve - nothing.
Are you aware of any other places I should look for?
This is not a big house that I would expect a series of gas valves. I assume the two valves in the gas cabinet are fine - 1st mechanical is in OPEN position, the one inside a smart meter has also opened up.
I have topped it up with £50 just in case this Emergency is not good.
This is Baxi Solo 15 HE A. The last maintenance on it was in July 2020 but it has not been used for almost a year. I cannot see a gas valve near the boiler. Can it be the valve in the gas smart meter has seized up? I would expect to smell some gas when opened that cooker ball valve.
