Combi boiler - Hot water 'heat dump' too hot
In a private e-mail to , on Thurs, 18 Nov 2004
20:43:28 -0000, Tania wrote: HELLO I have recently had a combi boiler put in, and whenever the hot tap is put on there is a really hot burst of water (too painful to use). It then goes cold for a while, then heats up to the temerature I set on the boiler thermostat. I have two very young children and worry about them turning on the hot tap in the loo or bathroom. Has anyone else found a solution to this. I asked the engineer who came out to sort out a lighting problem today, and he said 'other people don't moan about it' which left me feeling fed up and no wiser. He did explain to me how it happens several times, each more slowly than the last, he was a very rude man! he had no will to try and reassure me, but when pushed did say it would be 64 degrees maximum - so not scalding. Any ideas will be gratefully received. Regards Tania Water temperature fluctuations seems a common problem with combis in houses I have visited. Can anyone help with a solution to this problem that I received via email from the FAQ website? Thanks Phil The uk.d-i-y FAQ is at http://www.diyfaq.org.uk/ Remove NOSPAM from address to email me |
