Hi
We've recently moved into a new rented property, and have encountered an odd problem with the Central heating/hot water system.
When we advance the hot water on the controller, the radiators upstairs heat up, so to counteract this we turned off all the radiator valves upstairs; however we then found that the hot water was not heating.
If we advance the heating on the controller then the hot water automatically advances with it.
Obviously this is costing us a fortune in gas, and with the weather improving we don't want to have to have the radiators on in the bedroom.
When we spoke to our letting agent about this she replied that the landlord had come back to her, saying his plumber had said that 'that was how the system was supposed to be with the boiler that we had'.
Now I've never heard of this before, although I'm no expert in the field I've always thought that a boiler would feed a three port valve which would send the heat to whichever was demanding it.
The boiler installed here is an Ideal Classic LXRS.
Any thoughts on this would be welcome, so at least we could go back to the agents with the correct information.
Many thanks!
And apologies if this has been asked before, this is my first post on the forum!
