Hello people... we had a powercut earlier.. and 5 hours after the electric came back on..
I turned the hotwater and centeral heating on .. boiler sounds like it's fired up and the piolet light is on, but 2 hrs later the boiler itself is still cold and there's no hotwater/centeral heating...
is my boiler fuggered or has it got something to do with the power cut (or is it just coincidence that the boiler should pack up after the powercut as it was working last night)
many thanks
Lawrence

Could be a coincidence I suppose. If the boiler fires up but the rads are still cold maybe the circulating pump has stuck ( they do tend to get a lot of slime in them) When mine stuck I hit it a couple of times with a hammer - now go gently - not a sledge hammer! and this released it back into action

Is your heating and water controlled by a timer.
When you had a power cut, it would have also stopped the clock. You need to reset the time. and it should be ok.

sounds like the timer needs resetting
