The flow switch and/or diverter valve are faulty, when hh check it again, make sure the heating is off, the fault will be more evident, they should have something called a flow cup, this will test the water flow rate, some test the temperature too (mine does), If you check the manual, it will tell you what the expected flow rate and temperature rise should be, usually 10 litres per minute with a 35 degree rise from the cold water temperature. Ask them to prove to you that the flow and temp rates are consistent with the installation manual, if they cant, there is an obvious problem, If the engineer is Jill, dont say I told you, hehe.
