Tea Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Hi all,Help please! Advice or recommendations much appreciated.Our boiler used to provide lovely hot water (constant) and heating (on thermostat), although for a few weeks now the heating came on a good few minutes after we turned up the thermo dial. Now, it sounds like it will fire up but then fails to. It provided hot water without CH but now we don't get either. We called a local Gas Safe engineer when we stopped getting hot water. He said it was the fan but when he replaced it, it didn't work so he replaced some other part (I forget which now but he left a small black rubber cap behind). He didn't give me a receipt for the work. The CH and HW worked for one day before packing up again. The engineer says that we need a new pump.I've done quite a bit of Googling and going mad. We've checked the rads for air and increased the pressure. What else can we do before forking out more ???? What could it be? Many thanks,(Cold) Tea Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/217333-help-please-ideal-boiler-s24-no-heating-or-hot-water-brrrrrr/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive1974 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 British gas do a fixed price repair ?79 I recall if you take out a one year service contract with them. The one year is I believe ?24.50 a month. This is a useful offer for difficult or expensive repairs but you do end up paying more for the one year cover than you could have otherwise obtained it. Less of a benefit as you have already spent monies on repairs.

lulu1 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Try Billy Hunter. He's a fantastic guy (lots of reviews on this forum). He will probably be very busy but, in my experience, he will always try and advise if there's a way to solve this yourself. I don't have his number to hand but just search on the forum.
