Hi all,
New to the forums and know little about about all this.
I've recently moved and the new house was built in 1988. It has the original boiler, controls etc.
I have a couple of issues. First of I've tried doing so research, and think I have a vented indirect system.
The first problem is we have the hot water only on in the morning (it's summer?!!) and the system makes quite a racket, it sounds like it's coming from the the pump in the airing cupboard (it's red and black and has grundfos on it). It's a grinding noise. I'm not sure why it's using the pump for hot water as I thought it was a central heating pump?
Looking at the pipes going in to this pump the water feed pipe is first, then the vent feed, then the pump, the water pipe passes under the vent pipe and is joined by what i'd call an inverted T. This sounds as though it can take in air as well as water?
Second problem is looks like we have to have the CH and HW on at the same time (well CH can be off as it is now or both on). Is this just the control unit or something more?
Sorry for going on, I find it best to have an basic idea before getting the trades in to quote for whole new systems.
Thanks in advance, Matt.
