oil fired boiler; heating is fine but no hot water
Dec 5^th, 2010, 2:13pm

I have an oil fired central heating system; the boiler and hot water cylinder and control panel are all housed together on the ground floor.I have a full supply of oil. The central heating is working fine. But the hot water is not. I have tried switching control panel to 'constant' and 'twice' but no difference. The immersion is working and there is full supply to all hot taps and showers that way - just not via the circulating system
