Central Heating - very cold house

[mmgp7sp]

Hi
Came across this forum when I tried researching some heating probs I'm having - right time of year for it I suppose!

My boiler keeps cutting out. No heat in rads, but pipes coming out of boiler are hot. I have had a problem with low pressure in the central heating and have had to keep topping up the system. I know there's a leak somehwere (Think it's just at the boiler, I hope), which a plumber is coming to fix soon. Is there any way I can get the house warm in the meantime? Tried bleeding rads to ensure there's no airlocks.

Help!

Electric fire? I keep some cheap fan heaters for emergencies. (No gas).

might well be the pump - boiler comes on heats up and shuts down cause hot water not getting away - you dont say what sort of system.

Check these out, I have one and they're the best thing in hot fast easy heat. Just one thing they tend to make things curl, with the warm hot air they provide in the vicinity, with a built in thyermostat an all.
Actually got mine a bit cheaper than the one listed here ok and it's FREE p&p for ya..!!
Good luck.

It was the pump. Sorted, plus two new isolation valves and some kind of sealant to try and solve the leaking problem.
