Heating experts?

[Telscombe Seagull]

Morning all,

Anyone got any idea why my heating keeps blowing fuses and RCBs? think it could be the pump as its only after its been of for a prolonged period of time (8+ hours). failing that, anyone know a decent/cheap plumber!

If its a Vokera boiler try Welcome to Mark Payne -vokera boiler service, Mark Payne vokera, vokera boiler repair, vokera Sussex, vokera Brighton, landlord gas safety Sussex, vokera specialist, vokera Eastbourne, vokera engineer Sussex Mark is based in Peacehaven I think.

Our one broke over Xmas, we had boiler cover which proved to be completely useless so rang them and they came quick, fixed it within the hour and it didn't cost a fortune.nhave knocked the boiler cover on the head and will just call them in future.

Good luck!

Hi, there are normally only 3 or 4 things that can trip the electrics. The pump, fan, gas valve or PCB. I say normally as anything could be going on! Unfortunately impossible to be 100% sure without looking. If I wasn't on my way to Birmingham I would have offered to have a look. Good luck anyway.

Sadly I feel you do need a man for this. I use Dave at Algas when stuck. (google for number)

Is it a condenser boiler?
If so the outlet pipe for the condenser can sometimes freeze up leading to water backing up the pipe and tripping the electrics.

In my experience it is normally the PCB thats at fault, but without seeing / checking it out it's almost impossible to diagnose.
