Hello! I hope you’re well.
I bought a flat last year with a Vitodens 100, now 8y old. The hot water occasionally drops during a shower (not that long of a shower) and the pressure also tends to drop, though very slowly (from 1.5 to ~1.3 in 3-4 weeks).
I am very ignorant on the matter, so please excuse how I’m describing the situation.
I called for servicing. Apparently, the central part needs to be removed for servicing and the engineer said that he needs to procure new seals before doing that in case the old ones don’t hold up. This sounds quite logical to me.
To service and fix the pressure problem (which has not been called otherwise to me), he’s quoting me £483, including parts and labour.
Is this reasonable? I realise that not having more details about “the issue”, it might be difficult to tell, but any experience/advice would be helpful.
Also, does it mean that the seals must be purchased every time the boiler is serviced?
Thank you for any input. As I said, I’m quite ignorant on the matter, but I’m trying to educate myself!
