I haven't had working heating since 17th December. It is fucking freezing.
We foolishly removed an old but working oil-fired boiler for a lovely new modern high capacity Viessmann wood pellet system.
Honestly the thing is absolutely shit. Nobody ever switch to biomass. It is simply incapable of heating the house, and while it is built like a tank in the true German style, it is also equipped with the cheapest, shittest and most fragile electronic and moving parts, again in the true German style. It fails all the time and doesn't tell you when it has failed. You just wake up freezing and can't get hot water, then you go into the boiler room and discover it's pretending to have run out of pellets, or forgotten how to make it go on fire, or it thinks the door is open.
Now it has decided this will be its permanent state, and the man from Viessmann has singularly failed to come and bring the replacement parts.
Honestly, fuck the climate crisis, I'd have more warmth if I just burned Greta Thunberg.
