recently had repairs to the cost 560quid. Why is it that heating is ok but when we run a bath it runs hot for 5 secconds then goes of and then back on again sometimes it locks out and i have to keep resetting it it is a combi and its called ace high by halstead. should i invest in a new one. Also weve had this problem before and the engineer did fix it for a short while. He did say there was no guarantee thet what he did would rectifi. Never had problems before but could it be getting damage due to being in my garage??Thanks in advance
560 quid? what did he fit a solid gold pump? You've been shafted! I can buy those boilers brand new for just over 300! The reason for the boiler locking out, is that there is not enough water getting through the heat exchanger. Make sure main supply taps are turned fully on. Including the inlet to your house. If they are, check that the boiler pressure gauge shows at least 1 bar. If still the same, the automatic air valve on top of heat exchanger might be fastened down. This would let air accumulate along top of boiler and stop water flow. The reason boiler locks out is because it senses the lack of hot water pressure. Good luck.
If it has in no way labored exact then you definately ought to have have been given the plumber who put in it to describe why. If he could no longer then he ought to have given you one that did. Its somewhat late now after 3 years to whinge yet once you do get yet another do no longer use the comparable plumber as he sounds ineffective. I relatively have an Oil condensing boiler cautioned via our heating engineer who replaced our total gadget from LPG to grease various years in the past and we've had no issues. Its a grant that's given a intense score via the Which magazine. there are various diverse ones reckoning on the quantity or radiators you should warmth.

It could be several possibilities. One would be improper gas pressure. These type units generally have a gas pressure range and the high and low has to be set so the boiler knows the proper range. While doing central heating most units will be on high fire mode, but while making domestic water for showers and sinks and such the gas pressure would depend on the flow and temperature. If the low end pressure is not set properly the boiler may try to go below what is an adequate low fire pressure and may go off, and then have to re-lite. It could also be a flow problem. Most units have a minimum domestic water flow requirement to operate normally. If the flow were reduced by a dirty filter at the cold water inlet, the unit would fire and reach it's high temperature limit too soon and shut off, then some more cold water would flow through and it would re-lite and repeat the cycle of firing and shutting off. As for being in the garage, it would only be affected if it were susceptible to freezing and if it were not a sealed combustion unit. Meaning it got it's air for combustion from the room it was in as opposed to drawing air from outside. If the air for combustion were contaminated or there was not enough air, it would, of course, affect how it operated.
