Several times a week our living room thermostat reaches 23/24 making the house uncomfortably hot. Twice we've called an engineer out, the first said it isn't costing us as the boiler isn't "calling for gas" when it overheats (how he knew this I've no idea!) and he failed to do anything. The second engineer blamed the weather and the sun shining through the window!! Unfortunately I was out both times and my partner accepted what they said.
But last night the house had become unbearably hot and on checking the thermostat it was on 26, the radiators were red hot and I immediately went up to turn the boiler off to find it was still going! This told me the thermostat is failing to send a signal to the boiler to switch off when it reaches its set temperature.
When I told my partner this (he'd gone to bed) he know realises the thermostat must be faulty but we are not sure what to do next. What if a third engineer still insists there is not a problem?
