CH overflow problem
I have an old conventional CentralHeating system. Recently it has developed a fault where water is expelled from the system back into the header tank and out through the overflow.
As I am away from home for 3 months from this weekend I had arranged for a plumber to deal with the problem before I go. Unfortunately he has let me down and therefore I need advice on how to leave the system whilst I am away.
I would normally leave the Central Heating on permanently at 11 degrees when I am away in the winter.
With the fault, and the possibility of freezing weather, do I:
1. Leave heating on and leave the cold water mains on, or
2. Leave heating on and turn off the cold water mains?
The answer is to leave the cold water mains turned of and leave the heating on
This could be - the hot water is 2 hot - to fix adjust the thermostat lower . Or the pressure valve
Would leave off untill repaired
to fix adjust the thermostat lower . Or the pressure valve
