Urgent boiler malfunction and Flue inquiry!!

[zctpfe2]

Hi all,

I'm seeking for help with some multiple faults with my boiler and central heating.

I got a Baxi 2 Megaflo 28 Compact GA boiler and it suddenly stopped supplying hot water about two days ago (no big issues before except re-pressuring). I tried to reboot it however it lost power completely when I turned it off. The Honeywell central panel is functioning properly.

I called in a British Gas folk to assess the situation and he commented the following:

1. It may be the problem with PCB so it cannot be switched on
2. Our vertical flue has no support so need to get it done before any work
3. There is a minor leakage in the pipe beside water cylinder

The boiler is 4 years old and we moved in 4 months ago.

So my question is whether I should call original installer to see if they can get all fixed or I have to seek Baxi for the boiler and another plumber to deal with point 2&3.

The flue is quite firm and I wonder if there is an actual need for brackets, also will this be potential problem that my boiler is not working???

I've attached some pics here

Many thanks!!!

The flue needs brackets. Without them its classed as "AT RISK " and must be turned off untill rectified. That is the regulations

not strictly true phil it can only be turned off with the owners permission .Label issue, notice and then up to the customer if they use it

Call Baxi to rectify number 1.
And a plumber of your choice for 2 & 3.

Just my way of dealing with it.

Doesn't look like theres any fire seal on that flue aswell

What do you mean by fire seal? Do you mean a fire stop as it passes through the plaster board?

Thanks all. I'll make a call to the original installer and see if they can get the boiler fixed as well. If not, I'll go for Baxi.

Hi folks finally got it sorted. The PCB was burnt so I got a plumber to replace the PBC which is way cheaper than calling the BG... Thanks for the attentions!
