Small Electrical/Central Heating Query...

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Sorry! NOT technically minded at all!

My lights blew last night and I turned the Power off and took the little box out to get the new fuse wire added to it.

At the moment the Power is on(obviously I'm typing this..lol) but my Central Heating is cold,whereas it DID work before.

PLEASE tell me its because the "electrics"/"lights" box still hasn't been put back in!

(Antiquated system I know!)....

Thanks In Advance,Tony.

Check all of the fuses in the box, you may have blown more then one.

Also, the heating (if gas) relies on a constant flame to keep the thermocoupling hot, if the flame goes out the thermocoupling cools and trips a circuit to cut the gas to the flame (A safety feature to stop gas being pumped out without a pilot light)

Check if the pilot light is on, if not follow the instructions on your central heating to relight it then see if the heating comes back on

Also check the timer on your heating, it may well have reset to factory defaults when you switched the power off and not what you have set it to.

If it is on, your fuses are fine and you have gas into the building (if you have a gas cooker does it still work) then I would recommend calling your heating engineer to come over. (but that could take a very very long time)

Hope this helps

Thanks, I'll read what you have written carefully thru'!

Just to say my Gas Cooker and Gas Fire in the Living Room still work fine.

To update I turned the switch on again and just get a "whirring" sound and also my "Pressure Gage" goes up from "1" to "3" when it working and then retreats back afterwards(I know it should stay at "1" but, hey! it works normally) but this time it did not move!
