Central Heating

Anyone know anything about electric boiler systems? We've got a problem with ours atm. Everything seems to be running, fan, pump etc but the system keeps tripping after 30s or so.

It's a Trianco jobby similar to the attached.

I've a seperate emersion on the tank which is giving us hot water but the heating is a different matter.

I'd rather waste a bit of heat/energy than get legionaires (sp?) disease

Glad you got it fixed though!

no 60deg c is what it should be, but it could be hotter than what it is set at if the stat is knackerd, if you think the water is too hot ie boiling/burning then turn the stat down. would be good to test the temperature of the hot water to see actual temp. but as said needs to be 60 to stop diseases.

don't really work on them but it could be the stat is faulty causing it to trip, could be other things, does it have two pumps? if so are both working, are the stats set to the correct temp? edit could you get some smaller pics, lol.

Well I still have to get the thing looked at... Fortunately being a flat it doesn't get too cold and we've hot water.

BFM - I'll take a look and get some better pic's. I'm a complete noob in this respect.
