No hot water upstairs

[loulouhart]

my shower(2nd floor) only has hot water when on VERY low my bath(2nd floor) is also the same,the hot water tap in my bathroom is fine also in the kitchen.My boiler is a sauvier and is on the ground floor of my house.i have recently had my boiler fixed but the pressure keeps dropping,the problem with the water has been ongoing since before my recent problem.Should i get a new boiler or just try an electrical shower?Thank you

I would say get a second gas man if the pressure is still dropping its not fixed , don't go rushing into a new boiler

 

[loulouhart]

Thank you but in the past year I have had 3 different ones and its not been fixed for any more than a few months,its costing me a fortune lol,on a totally unrelated but how did you get a profile pic up? cheers

 

[Barry98]

its in your setting page , 3 guys and its not fixed what boiler is it ?

I think it's probably a Saunier Duval. I'd be looking at fitting a replacement.

how did you deduce that mike ?

 

[SilentMike]

which proberbly is a saunier duval
parts for these normaly are expensive
i would get it looked at first,could be somthing simple, How long you had it?
if it is an expensive repair an new one might be a better choice

haha that will teach me to read all the post rofl

 

[loulouhart]

thank you I did just guess the name as I was at work.If I get a new boiler which one is a good one to have,please?

Would the boiler be the problem for the hot water as it is heating up kitchen and hot tap in bathroom fine??? Also I take it this must be combi boiler as everyone suggesting it must be boiler that is problem??
If so could someone please explain to me how the boiler would heat some taps fine and not others?? Sorry for questions just would like to gain a bit more knowledge for my self. And don't worry I don't intend to try touching any boilers as I am not gas safe.

Could be your pump

loulouhart have you always had this problem? it could be you need a larger boiler to allow for better water delivery as may boiler is working to hard to meet demand especially if pipes arent insulated in cold areas or the heat exchanger is scaled up.
