I've recently moved into a new property and have been meaning to get the boiler checked out as there was a funny smell from the hall radiator when the heating was on and our hot water supply was a bit hit and miss. It looks a fairly new combi boiler, I'd say no more than 4 to 5 years old.
I got it checked out this week and the service cost £95.00 is that about right? Anyway much to my annoyance that night there was still no hot water in the upstairs hot taps although there had been in the day time when the engineer was here. I called him back out and he had a proper look this time and has quoted £230 parts and labour. I don't want to get ripped off here as I don't have a clue about boiler etc but should the engineer have checked this out when he serviced the boiler in the first place especially as I had told him there was a problem? He reckons the switch is going that switches on to heat the water?
Any help, advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The engineer has given me his gas safe number for the company appears which in order.
