I think I’m officially cursed. It’s freezing outside, and I just realized my boiler has decided to go on strike. No hot water, no heating, and there’s a cryptic error code blinking on the display that wasn’t there yesterday. I’ve tried the classic "turn it off and on again" move, but no luck. Before I spend a fortune on an emergency call-out fee for a London engineer, does anyone have a checklist of things I should check myself? I’m fairly handy but I don’t want to blow the house up. Is it usually just a pressure issue, or should I be prepared for a full replacement? Any advice on how to handle this without losing my mind (and my savings) would be amazing.
