Hi. Thanks for allowing me to register.
If anyone could help me with a few questions, I'd be ever so grateful.
Background;
1. Bought a house, didn't replace pipework but got new boiler. Conventional system, non-combi, tanks in loft etc. Huge gas bills, no real heating.
2. Took the old rads out and fitted new ones except in rooms not needing much heat. Fitted TRVs etc. House now heating up.
3. Boilers cuts out after 30-40 minutes, poor return flow to boiler (possible blockage), overheat protection kicks in.
4. Can't run heating using thermostat/timer/TRV controls. Have to manually turn up thermostat, run for 30-40 minutes then switch off for 1-2 hours.
Questions;
Has anyone come across this before?
Any tips to locate/remove blockage (if that's the issue)?
Pro heating engineers let me down. Plumber has been a saviour but it's still not working. Boiler tested by manufacturer.
When it's a bit cold (like now) but not deep winter, I'm running the heating 4 or 5 times a day for 30-40 minutes a time as that's all I can do. It gets the house from 13-15 in the morning, 14-16, 15-17, 16-18 that kind of thing. Is this about right...?
Many thanks, DaveR
