And the next problem...

[ffutures]

Got home this evening to find my hot water / central heating boiler giving a low pressure light. Let in some more water to put the pressure up, valve says it's OK but water isn't coming on. Had to go out to dentist and hope it was OK.

Got home at 5.45 and it wasn't.

Phoned central heating company, after faffing around with their phone system for five minutes or so got told I needed an insurers job number first, which is NOT what the policy document says.

Phoned the insurers, got a job number after faffing around with their phone system for five minutes or so.

Phoned central heating company. They've closed until the morning...

So no heat tonight, probably not until Thursday. Time to dress up warm.

BALLS!

The central heating pump in our house failed soon after we bought the house. But we didn't realise immediately and spent a few days saying "I knew the underfloor heating doesn't respond quickly, but this is ridiculous, the house is getting colder and colder". Then a few days phoning plumbers who said "we couldn't possibly do anything before the New Year" and/or "we wouldn't do anything that far out of town" and/or "we wouldn't touch underfloor heating".
Eventually we found someone who could source a suitable pump in a reasonableish time (at least an almost suitable one - we've just (4 years later) been told it should really have been a bronze one, not steel).
We installed a wood burning stove while waiting for it to arrive.

The latest is that they can get someone to me on Friday. Not happy.
