Re: My Heating, an update.

Floydy, lt seems lots of people on Facebook are suffering the same thing with a frozen condensate pipe.
Here is a YouTube clip that you might find useful...

Re: My Heating, an update.

Strangely enough, I had a phone call from my son tonight, and he was telling me exactly the same.
Apparently loads of Combi boilers are stopping because of that frozen pipe outside.

That's a good, clear video Art.

Re: My Heating, an update.

Swimfeeders, that's great news your way.

Crossing fingers and toes that you all resolve your boiler problems and can stay warm through this chill.

Re: My Heating, an update.

We have a condensing boiler but the pipe outside was insulated when fitted. I have a colleague at work who has the same system (and the problem described) but the pipe is exposed. I didn't think much of the insulation as it looks like polystyrene but seems to do the trick.

Re: My Heating, an update.

It was helpful thanks Art. I didn't think of using a watering can for the hard to reach pipe so I don't need to stretch too much. It's going to be fun and games later on today!
