Ever since we had those torrential downpours a few weeks ago, I've noticed my gas boiler is 'reluctant' to fire up mainly during morning and evening periods ie about 7am - 9am and 5pm to 7pm. It will go through several re-light sequences before it finally operates
Could this be down to local reductions in gas pressure during peak periods? It's not the sort of thing you can check on your own.
Years ago, when I tried to light the hob to heat a kettle late one night, there was an initial burst of gas which quickly died. The engineer I called found no pressure at all and next day they found that there had apparently been a leakage of water into the gas main which had effectively blocked it; could this be happening again?
