New Boiler setup - Hot and Cold water cycles repeatedly

Anonymous user 16/03/2024 - 2.33 PM

Hello - I recently got a new Worcester Greenstar 30i 30kW Combi Boiler 7733600005 installed in my property. Previously I had a 37KW combi boiler but that was 10 years old. The day this was installed, I also had my water supply pipe changed from 15mm to 22mm PE to increase the water flow. Since the day these two things were done, my hot water cycles continuously between extremely hot and freezing cold in all the tap mixers. I am not sure what's gone wrong as the plumber who fixed it confirms that this has nothing to do with the boiler. Any pointes / advise based on your experience will help.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Probably too much pressure, boiler can only heat 12/15 Ltrs a minute, you could try restricting the flow turning your taps back a bit or turning inlet tap on boiler to restrict flow into boiler, if this doesn’t work call a service engineer, good luck

Smaller boiler and supply too big, boiler isn’t keeping up with the water coming in.
