how do i light my boiler

[bettybooplil]

i have a sima combi boiler for some reason the pilot light has gone out and i have no hot water. I cannot find out whewre to light the pilot light. I have had this boiler for 8 years with no problem but they came and changed my electric meter and had to turn off the electric after that i found i had no hot water. I am disabled and need a bath daily i am quite distressed

The boiler may have an automatic ignition - there must be a button to press to light it. If it doesnt have on it may also have an auto pilot igniton.

However if the pressure in the system has dropped for any reason, the pilot will not light automatically or by pressing a button. Check your pressure reading on the dial and see what it says. Get the handbook and see what your boilers operating pressure is. You may need to fill the system from the cold water loop if the pressure is too low, this will increase the pressure in the system and your pilot light will light. If you are not sure - decent plumbers would only charge you a call out to get it going again if all it needed was refilling - it's a ten minute job.

If you dont have a manual get the model number, go here :

And have a look at the instructions for lighting the ignition/operating pressures etc.

If the electricity has been off have you checked and made sure the timer/programmer does not require re-setting ???
