Ferroli Boiler Help

[ce0u30e8]

Good evening,

I need advice on a ferroli optimax 25 OV 2v boiler. How long does it typically take for water to heat up using this boiler?

I have just moved in a a new property and we are unable to get hot water running.

Thanks

welcome to the forum.
do you get no hot water?
it will depend on the cylinder, size, coil type etc. 20min/40 min??
as you are new to the property take the opportunity to get someone out to have a look, there may be a simple fix or possibly an old system showing its age that requires more rigorous maintenance??

Thanks, it does seem to be a fairly old system but should be in full working order, probably just needs a good read of the user manual!

I would like to get someone out to have a look at the boiler/cylnder and system in general. Get some advice on whether its worth upgrading to a combi.

To be honest we have just been to visit the property, not fully moved in and had a play around with it for only 20 mins or so, had boiler running and hot water but nothing. Ive not been in a property before without a combo so i suspect some getting used to.

Ive read in the manual that the room temp should be controleld by a thermostat but Ive not seen any thermostats in the property, is the thermostat control ioptional as I cannot not see one anywhere in the property.

Im located in Liverpool. any heating engineers/plumbers in this area send me a private message with your details and I'll get back to you.

Thanks Again,

yes it should really have a room stat for efficiency reasons, to turn off boiler when rooms up to temp. seen lots of installs without tho
