I've got an electric heater I use in the shed in the living room but it's not touching it. Have turned on all the rings and oven on the Aga and thinking about introducing the air fryers but the house already smells like a chippy.

Plan is to go to work and rely on my taxi to save me from hypothermia and to run from the car to the bed where the electric blanket will be on when I finish.

It's a battle for survival in the frozen North. Roll on summer.

If its a combi the condenser outlet pipe might be frozen, all it needs is thawing with hot water or a hair dryer

Is that the one that sticks out on the outside wall ?

I don't believe you. When did you ever "lose" an argument?

Yes it is and I agree with HuntingdonO that this is a likely cause. Other simple thing to check is the pressure of your heating system - the gauge needs to be over 1 Bar to a max of 1.5 Bar with system off. You can top up if necessary by opening the 2 (probably) valves on your filling loop. Bon chance
