Since I had a Combi fitted in the loft, I have noticed that
a) my electric shower now runs fine,with no need to turn it on for approx
5 minutes,
to give it time to stop blasting freezing then hot water, alternately and
b) my washing machine now does its final rinse in very hot water.. If I am
around when a
cycle finishes,
the clothes are steaming hot.. On a 40deg wash, I could end up with
shrinkage, etc...


Does the boiler fire up when the washing machine is doing its 'cold fill'?
Likewise, does the electric shower cause the boiler to come on?
