And very nice it was to come back to a nice warm flat! After a bit of prompting, the agency got hold of a heating engineer who came round to the flat today. He duly pulled the boiler apart, and did a few diagnostic tests before deciding that it was the flow sensor that was faulty. At that point I had to leave to go back to work. ( should add that it is a combination boiler, instant hot water and central heating. Hot water takes priority when it is called for).<\/p>\n
He ‘phoned about an hour later to say that he had found the problem – a leaky tap in the bathroom! The hot tap is a bit loose in the basin, so I avoid turning it off tightly, and it seems that the system is so sensitive that the sensor detected the flow and prevented the heating from coming on! So I was slightly embarrassed at not having spotted that myself, but I now need a conventional plumber to fix the tap, and in the meantime make sure all the bathroom taps are shut off completely.<\/p>\n
The only other thing to get fixed is the grill on the cooker, but apart from that, it is great being able to cook a meal and then relax in the evenings. The GPRS works well, and I can get 3G in the flat, so it is almost as fast as the ADSL connection athome!<\/p>\n
So… Onwards and upwards!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
