Hi all

Iam new to this forum. I need a little help regarding my oil fired boiler. I have just moved into another house which has a Boulter Classic 70/90 oil fired boiler. I would be grateful if someone could advise if this type of boiler is a combi boiler which would heat water and radiators.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Dougie

Hi Dougie :welcomeuhm:

Do you have an airing cupboard with a copper tank in it?

You should have a cylinder for hot water.

Thanks for replyin

Yes I have a copper tank, but it would appear the water is heated by an immersion...which is wired to some sort of timer/programmer, for which I don't have a manual and thetre is no name or model displayed on it

The Classic 70/90 boiler has a Riello 40 burner.

The Boiler Control Thermostat
"also controls the water temperature within the boiler. The recommended Control Thermostat settings are:-"
WINTER HEATING & HOT WATER 4
SUMMER HOT WATER ONLY 2

The person living here before left me a note to say "for hot water, turn on switch under stairs".....this is the switch that appears to be the power supply to the timer/programmer which operates the immersion (I think)!!!!!

It's quite possible they heat the hot with the immersion heater, as there is little difference in cost between the two fuels.

One would need to see a few pics of the boiler and cylinder, not too close.

Again a pic of the timer etc may help us ID it.
