I’ve got no hot water – what’s wrong with my boiler?
I’ve had hardly any hot water this week. It starts off hot in the morning but mid way through my shower, it runs out and the water gets ice cold. The heating is still working fine though and I’ve checked the boiler and all the switches are in the right place. Any ideas what the problem can be?
Also, are boilers included on house insurance or do you have to pay extra for that? Going to have a look when I get home, but thought I’d just see if anyone knew here.
It’s a combi boiler
Not a heating engineer, so sorry no idea about the water, but as to the insurance, unless you have a very special insurance policy, no it wont be. They would just regard it as an appliance breakdown.
The only way for your insurance to pay out on it would be if it blew up and took out your wall!
A bit extreme!
You need seperate heating cover, normally from gas engineer/ supplier to cover your boiler.

canceling car insurance?
i got some car insurance for a car i was purchasing today as i did not want to drive it home over 100 miles with out none , i only took it out yesterday but when i went to pick up the car it had obtained some problems that it did not have before so i have not brought it. i was told when i got the insurance that i would have 14 days to cancel it but when i rung them up today to cancel it they have said i can not and i will have to pay all of the premium in full, i explained to them why i was needing to cancel it and was told it is not their fault and i still have to pay all outstanding monies , is this right . this is with swinton if it matters.
If you already had insurance for another car, all you needed was a temporary cover note so you could drive the car home. Ask to speak to the manager of the franchise office you dealt with, not the jobs worth / rubbing rag. Swinton / Colonnade are a large reputable company so any adverse publicity will be bad for them.
P.S Like the GSD.
