Why wont my heating come on but I have hot water?

If you’ve got hot water, but no central heating then there are more issues it could be if it’s not the thermostat or the boiler pressure. Common reasons for this particular fault are broken diaphragms and airlocks, or a motorised valve failing.

How do you test a diverter valve?

After you remove the lid of the boiler, you have to locate the diverter valve mechanism. Run tap water on hot and observe the diverter valve. If you run hot water, the valve is supposed to close in order to divert it to the tap, meaning it should move. If you see no movement, then it’s stuck.

How long does it take to replace a diverter valve?

You should call a gas safe registered engineer if you need to replace the diverter valve or service the working parts of the valve after you’ve diagnosed the problem. It shouldn’t take more than an hour for this to be done on a boiler under eight years old, as parts should be readily available.

What is the difference between a 2 port and 3 port valve?

How do I know if my zone valve is working?

To test if your zone valve is working, switch off demand for your hot water (you can do this via the timer – set Hot Water to Off). Now create demand for central heating – turn up the thermostat and make sure the timer is set to ‘On’ or ‘Continious’.

Can you manually open a zone valve?

If power to the valve fails, it can be opened manually, allowing some circulation by gravity (Figure 4). The valve automatically returns to normal operation when power is restored. Each valve is controlled by its own thermostat.

How long should a zone valve last?

It is only crucially important for a Taco zone valve. The system pressure is fine too so leave that alone. Those valves should last much longer than 2 years.
