Morning peeps,
At my wits end and BG Home Service have been no help. We had a Worcester Greenstar 28i junior fitted about 12 years after our previous boiler was condemned when we moved in.
We have a 3 bed detached. We have no kids and no garden but our average water rates are double all our friends who have both. We dont use our dishwasher & try to be water smart!
The pressure is awful everywhere (upstairs and down) and we have one general mixer shower in our bathroom which never holds the same temperature and swings from hot to stone cold (as if someone is using a hot tap/toilet which isnt the case) and again pressure is very bad and this sits backed onto the airing cupboard that houses the boiler.
I am not sure if it is our pipework which stops the hot water flow but recent baths have been cold too.
I know there is an issue with limescale in this area and the water is very hard.
We have looked for leaks but non found which could cause our high rates.
So with poor pressure, lack of hot water etc I need advice as to whether its a plumbing/pipe issue with limescale, a crappy boiler that needs replacing (despite yearly BG boiler checks), someone sharing the same water line as us as we are footing the bill (not sure if this is possible?).
Sorry for the length of the post but once I have some idea of whats up I can get the right person in to help
Thanks so much!
