Hi

My radiators are on upstairs when the heating is not set to come on. It seems to happen when the hot water is on.

Any thoughts?

The immersion heater only heats the water to 44Âş, the upstairs radiators are working, there is a bit solar in there somewhere and he's fell out with the plumbers :smile:

As usual my mind reading abilities failed me. I've never been any good at that.

Get whoever fitted it back.

It is a great misconception that plumbers balls are made of crystal, CONFUSED as us all confused, the answer is in the detail, are there any good books on mind reading anyone's read, here's a starter for 10.

Well I asked a basic question re , heating on upstairs when it shouldnt be. I get abuse. You give plumbers a bad name. Why should I apologise and what for? As for a judge being on the side of the fitter, I think you will find if the terms of the invoice are 21 days and he threatens court action after 13 days, with well documented ongoing problems, The judge will not view this in a good light. As for having a solicitor for a son I am married to one.
Also please note, advertising that all your engineers are Oftec trained and registered when they are not is fraud.

Also i am a woman.

I don't think you got abuse, but you have come on here before giving half a story, still no full details and whingeing about your install and installer.

Fact is that you don't have to be oftec to install a boiler, sad but true.

Fact is that you have to be oftec to commission a boiler.

The truth of the matter, and probably the fact you don't like, is that giving part info on here isn't going to fix your problem.

I suggest if you believe you have issues with your install then you have to give your installer chance to rectify these issues. I would also add that if the installer has stated 21 days on his invoice and is chasing payment and threatening solicitors letters then it is of my opinion that you are not quite the innocent party you are trying to paint yourself as. It takes two to fall out.

Well I am afraid I havent done anything wrong. Totally innocent but on the receiving end of a bad installer who is arogant enough to demand money. None of my other trades men have had problems and have all been paid , and paid substantial amount of money. As for Oftec advertising you are when you are not is just not cricket.

well it does seem just over the internet that you are a bit sharp !

Please tell us the breaking point of the communication , why have you allowed this to happen ? so we can have a full understanding of the story !

As for your problem it well be so easy to put right as all engineers here already know what could be the problem !

I'm confused now. If you're worried about solicitor's letters why don't you get your husband to sort them out if he's a solicitor? They all use the same sort of language don't they?

The company can advertise as OFTEC, a non oftec guy installs for the company and then they may have 50 operators but only 1 OFTEC bloke who commissions everything. It's still an OFTEC registered company.

Im not worried about the solicitors letter.
The company advertised that ALL its engineers are registered and trained when they are not.

To go back to the original question (4 pages ago!) : Tamz has already answered you I think. It is due to the way the return pipes from the rads and hot water cylinder are connected. In other words - as Tamz also said - the problem originates from the original installation and is nothing to do with a new boiler. I have the same problem with my system and I just turn off the unwanted rads. I don't see how you can withold payment for a pre-existing fault which is nothing to do with the new work.
