    Water not very hot afrom taps
    Hi, I've recently installed a towel rail and all of the central heating system is working fine. However, the water coming from the taps doesn't get as hot as it should do, is this coincidence or is it something to do with installing the towel rail.
    I am a complete novice in the plumbing department and as my system is a Baxi combi boiler I cannot check the system is correct. I have been told that air in the system could be the problem? Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Many Thanks,
    Wayne

    Air could be a problem but since the problem came up after you installed the towel rack but I would suspect you might have tapped into the system water pipes at the wrong location/area. That is the only thing I can think of.
