    May I butt in?
    Installed Saturn 41B boiler 1 year ago
    Not heating the water now - replaced the control box - heated the water initially but does not do so continuously - turning on shower but within two mins the water is cold.
    Any ideas?

    Did you check out the plate to plate heat exchanger for any blockages?

    Thank you - service man found a faulty sensor - sometimes it heated but sometimes not, so a continuous supply of hot water did not generate !!
    That was having spent 2 hrs going through all mechanics of the boiler - perseverance - a good guy.

    my situation is different, but maybe simpler.

    i'm not familiar with all the plumbing terminology, apologies, but was considering a combi OIL boiler rather than condensing. would appreciate any advice from plumbers or home owners with similar set-up.

    my house is a small detached 2 bed bungalow (rural), with limited space for tanks downstairs. needing to install new system. i was looking at those internal combis that can be located in a kitchen....

    it needs to service 7 rads in total
    water pressure in area is very good
    one bathroom (i don't want an electric shower)
    i live on my own

    if i was to go for a combi would it be fine?.... and would there be any advantages over a pressurised system (firebird out the back, tank in the attic)? many thanks.......
