Why has our heating broken but we still have hot water?

by Jeff on May 4, 2010

The heating part of our combi boiler has stopped working. The hot water is still on though. Can anyone help? Combi boiler only 18 months old. Thank you
Obviously I have no idea but I thought with a combi boiler if it breaks you have no heating nor hot water. If anyone can help would greatly appreciate it as the kids (11 months & 2 yrs) both have really bad hacking coughs & our place is drafty so not ideal having no heating.

Most combi boilers have a diverter value. This valve diverter swaps the heat between the heating and water, sometimes it can get stuck on water only, the boiler will still work, but only on water, it won’t switch over to heating. You had better call an engineer out, before winter kicks in.

because your heating has nothing to do with your water.

Find the model and serial number. Go to mfg. website and check for trouble shooting guides. Some of these have a separate system that will still heat up the water.
