Hello,
We have had our unvented cylinder serviced for the first time a few days ago (the whole heating system is brand new, well one year old ).
Soon after the service I noticed cold water dripping through the tundish. The company who did the service sent another engineer who said the pressure reducing valve on the cold water inlet was letting by and suggested replacement.
I am a bit surprised about the suggestion that the PRV is faulty, firstly because the system is almost new and secondly because everything worked fine until the service was done.
So before I agree to have the PRV replaced for a lot of money (only to maybe discover later that this was not the source of the problem) I wanted to get the view of the experts here. Does this make sense or is it more likely that something was done wrongly in the service that is much easier to correct (eg expansion vessel wrongly pressurised).
Thanks a lot for your help!
