Hi, I have just moved into a house that has a Worcester oil fired boiler, when powered up it burns constantly even when the heat setting is off and no hot water running, is this normal ?? Don’t know how old it is and waiting documents to be returned from the Soliciters to see what service history it has

Could well be a motorised valve but there are other possibilities.
Looking at the grubby state of the boiler I would be looking for a competent oil service engineer.
Get it serviced and find problem at same time,

Yeh I agree it needs a clean up, the house has just had a refurb and the boiler got the thick of it I think 🤣 thanks for that 👍

POTTERTON PROMAX 28 COMBI Boiler - Hot Water Issue
Hello, I am seeking some advice, I have a POTTERTON PROMAX 28 COMBI Boiler and I noticed yesterday that the water around the house is no longer warming up. The heat exchanger has been changed 6 months ago, so I do not believe it is that. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be? Thanks

No Hot water, Fixed and Broken Again Ideal Logic 24
Ideal Logic 24, Previous problem was that the hot water was only cold or barely warm if the heating was in use. If heating was off and boiler cold then would get hot water most of the time. Changing the flow cartridge about 2 years ago (when I moved in) solved this problem enough to suffer it as...
