Combi boiler Electrical

[theone]

Hi

I was not getting any hot water and now I have changed the two elements. I now get some hot water but not even enouth to fill harf the bath. also the hot water is not as hot as it used to be?

 

[stani]

Washing machine taps and a shock arrestor on an unvented fill me with dread, could I suggest you get all this checked out by someone who has a G3 card and experience.

The washing machine taps and shock was already there.

This may be some ones attempt to fit an unvented cylinder who has no knowledge or experience, or DIY because it was there doesn't mean it's right, I would still get it checked out by a professional

There are over 1000 property with them installed professional by Telford, up and running no problems for 5 years. im sure they know what there doing....

ps its only Electrical not gas

just because its electric for the heat source doesnt mean to say it doesnt have to meet building regs standards, from the photo you look to be missing an essential item to prevent it turning into a steam producing machine at some stage and thats a expansion vessel, unless its an internal bubble type but I'm unable to see any details of the cyl make. the overall impression is it looks untidy and that normally means poorly installed, not always but most of the time. As it is you need to get a plumber qualified in uvented systems in to resolve your issues, it may prevent the following taking place

Ask a sparky then. This is a plumbers forum. Take your attitude elsewhere.

I know it has to meat meet building regs standards, im sure it doss that. any idea as to why its not heating up or as to why so little hot water?

If I had the cash to get someone in I would not be posting on this.

Well if you would like to tel me why its not been fitted right I will take the matter up with them.?

any work thats carried out on an unvented cylinder assuming it is will need to be done by a plumber/engineer with g3 qualifications. Please contact one and get them to take a look. You should already know one anyway, as unvented cylinders need annual service/checks so speak to that person.

have a read of my earlier thread and view the clip, then youll see why we worry about unvented, its not being petty but seeing something that doesnt look right, and no you wont know how to rectify it until you do a course on unvented.

With your attitude no I wouldn't

[lame plumber]

By the way your photo isnt of a combi boiler, as the title seems to suggest.

I'm gonna be honest. You will not get any advice, no one here wants to be responsible for you blowing yourself up, so you might as well take your crummy attitude someone else.
