Very cold house!

I just feel in need of a grump

Our heating packed up back in February during one of the really cold spells. The plumber said the fan had gone on our 15 year old boiler, £480 for a new one or £2k for a new boiler. We chose the latter. A couple of months on, when the outside temperatures rose, we discover we can't have hot water without the C/H being on. Plumber says it a boiler fault, boiler company came out and say it's an installation fault, plumber comes back and says it's a wiring fault, electrician comes out and says it's a plumbing fault. They kind of agree it's the motorised valve at fault (a Honeywell one that was replaced 4 years ago). It will take a month for them to get the new one and install it. The cost is eyewatering,  at over double what I paid for my first flat.

I'll be a little unhappy if they don't resolve the issue this time

Took him all of twenty minutes all in.

Thanks, that's cheered me up
