Hello all,
About 4 years back Warmfront fitted a new back boiler in our home. It was a nightmare the massacred our floorboards (not false ones) and wired up central heating and hot water so if you wanted one the other turned off. There was also an incident which we discovered from the gentleman that turned up to clear the mess where a staff was sacked due to he would turn up and tell the people they did not need X, Y or Z but they would sign the form indicating it was fitted. He then used it in his own 'weekender'
Anyway
The part in question is our Immersion Heater.
It was new around 10 years back however Warmfront said we needed a new one and the guy said we didn't and fitted an external thermostat that is fastened on with a band around the middle.
The other night we noticed that the thermostat had dropped off the band and the warm was not totally hot. We placed it on near the top but we have noticed that the water still is not pipping hot after over a hour of the water being on.
We have now placed the Thermostat directly at the top, made sure the central heating doesn't come on around the same time as the water (incase this effects it) and I have tried by best to vaccum around the back boiler (however it seems to be enclosed).
I have notice when we turn the water on the (Baxi) boiler click on fine, green light, burns for about 40 seconds then the great light goes off. It does this every 5 mins or so.
Can any assist in
1) Is the top of the boiler the best place for the Thermostat.
2) Should the boiler heat for 40 seconds the drop of for a few minutes
3) Does the central heating being on effect our hot water
Thank you (and sorry for the long post)
