Boiler not working

    Hi there I have recently moved house and have never used a boiler so up to date. Its a Sirrus RS 20 E. It takes forever to heat the water and the heaters dont work at all. I can feel the water pipes near the boiler are always boiling hot but it doesnt appear to go any further. The rads are all switched on at the stop taps so I just have no idea what the problem could be :confused:

    Do you have a thermostat (in the hall or another room)? Is it turned up? Turn the thermostat up full and see what happens.

    Is the system pressurised? Locate the pressure gauge and see what it reads.

    Either there is a room thermostat which is turned down, or most likely, the water circulating pump has stuck, or packed in completely.

    Thanks guys I checked the thermostat and they were all turned up and the rads were all on. I ended up calling bord gais and they sent someone out. Apparently there is a faulty valve in the tank so I have to get someone to repair it. Also there was a minor gas leak regarding the cooker but the gas is all off and now just waiting for someone to come out.
