  • Wasn't sure whether to ask here or the homeowners thread, but hot water problems....

    If you keep loosing hot water does that mean your boiler is fucked or could it be something else?

    We got our boiler serviced ~12m ago, but the guy said it was on its way out anyway as it had been over pressurised which had fucked the seals or valves or something. It's been alright till now, but recently it's a complete gamble whether you can make it through a shower without it going cold.

    Mainly just want a bit of knowledge/experience/reassurance before we commit to a new boiler.

    Cheers.

  • Right so how old is the boiler for a start?

    By over pressurised I’m guessing it’s leaking water out the PRV and down the wall?

  • Pretty much.

    Although it hasn't been leaking as much as it did before. Nor have I been repressurising it as much as in winter. Which is why it seems odd that it's fucking us over all of a sudden.

    Age wise it's >10yrs which as I understand it is about the limit for any modern boiler.
