Zones & Hot water in hot press

    Hi all, looking for some advice here. We moved into a new house and I'm looking at some upgrades to the heating system but first I need to know what I'm dealing with in order to prioritise.

    Number 1 at the minute is isolating heating and hot water. Both are heated by an oil fired boiler but we need to have the heating on just to get hot water.

    I've included some pics of the hot press I need help with. I'm fairly sure the 2 motorised valves in the picture are upstairs and downstairs heating but can anyone tell which is hot water and what to turn off just to have the boiler heating only water (and not the rads)?


    ....and any idea what one might pay for a boiler service? Firebird popular 150 oil boiler - I'd be surprised if it's ever been serviced.

    The two motorised valves are hot water and heating, the top one is your hot water and lower one your heating.

    Ah! Thanks Wiz. I wasnt looking at that right at all. Seems a strange set up because there doesn't seem to be any zoning for the heating yet there are 2 thermostats in the house- always suspected they were useless.
