Justa wee question about my combi boiler and shower.
My DIY knowledge ispretty limited and before I call out a plumber or heating engineer(not sure who to call lol) I thought I would ask the experts on here.
My boiler is 8 years old now and when I first had it installed itwould heat up the 7 radiators in the house fine.
In the 8 years, Ihave replaced 4 radiators and now my boiler seems to struggle.
I haveto turn my kitchen radiator right done for the living room radiatorto heat up and vice versa. Also for the downstairs radiators to heatup decent, I have to have the bedroom ones turned down to setting 2.
Is there possibly a problem/fault with my boiler or is it due to thefact I have replaced my old radiators with slightly larger ones?
Nextquestion is about my shower.
My mains pressure is great and my showerI have is 10.5kw power shower, but I have to have it turned rightaround to the hot setting for it to be decent, but when I do there isno pressure. Is this due to my boiler or is it due to being a crapshower?
If my water pressure is good and if my boiler is fine whatwould be the best shower to have? Either a power shower or one thatruns of the mains (if that makes sense)
Sorry also meant to say thatwhen I run a bath I have to have the hot water on slowly to be hot asif I run it pretty fast the hot water goes luke warm pretty quick.
Thanks for reading this long post and hopefully someone can give me awee heads up before I call someone out.
