Sime 60 heating system (circa 7 yrs old and annually services incl. some parts replaced in recent years) installed in the loft has been working quite well and providing uninterrupted..In recent days it has been receiving prolonged use (especially with the cold weather) e.g. on for 14 hours non stop intermittently.

Went up to examine the heating system in the loft and noticed that the pilot light is off while the thermostat is set high and both heating and hot water settings are switched to the on position. Could there be a simple solution to this problem? Would appreciate comments/input.

For my sime 60 problem I called in an engineer. The problem was that the system simply needed to be repressurised! I understand that systems like this lose pressure over time and repressurising is then needed. I am very thankful that the professional engineer that solved the problem also educated me about this matter for the future.
