Hi,
I have an external frost stat which I am not sure if it is in use or not. I had an electrician opened it and checked it, he said it is live. But he is not sure if it is in action or not....
I took a photo, could anyone confirm as the position it is, is this frost stat in action i.e. will...
Hi
I had a new boiler installed and wondered if you think this is acceptable workmanship.
Looks like they started to drill a hole at the front and then had to move down.
Thanks for your input.
Hi all,
Just had a Navien NCB 40kw combi installed by an approved fitter. The DHW rates of the boiler seemed promising on paper - 16.4lpm at a 35 temp rise and 22.9lpm at a 25degree rise. More than adequate for what we need. The only issue now its installed is that I'm not getting any more than...
I've been at this for a while now and am not finding myself to be as settled as I think I should.
When I first took the leap into 'selfemploydom' I thought I was going to TAKE OVER THE WORLD (as many probably do).
But 6 years on and I find myself like a Swan floating about while frantically...
Hi,
Yesterday morning my partner smelled gas in the flat and called cadent, the gas man came and he was not able to pinpoint where or even if there was a leak inside the flat, he tested the pressure and detected a drop of 1.5 milibar on the 2 minute test so he capped the pipe and said i needed...
Hi guys, been quoted 1550 for direct replacement of baxi combi 105he with a baxi 830, I know the engineers.. So paying roughly 500 for Labour. What do you think? Plus this is with thermostat fitting etc. I thought about 1300/1400.
Could someone take a look at this for me please?
Just had a boiler put in our property on a grant scheme. The boiler is great other than him not cleaning the pipework including gas joints before leaving 🙁.
I've cleaned it up and it seems alright.
My other main worry though was what the follow...
Do I really need to spend £150 on a fluke for general fault finding?
Hi guys. I’m still very new to boiler fault finding but was wondering whether you could advise me on a particular multimeter or tester that would help with fault finding? The wife has been a good one and got me a Martindale ET5 open jaw tester but I’m unsure whether they’re any good? I can’t...
Apologies if this is a dumb question but is it against gas regs to swage a copper gas pipe?
We moved into our house in October and the boiler needs replacing. We got quotes but were informed by the gas engineers that we have a commercial gas meter and this needs to be changed in order for them to do the work and to get the boiler guarantee. We contacted our energy supplier who have...
All advice appreciated. I've made a number of bad decisions & trying to stop the flow.
I used a small plumbing company (one man band but supplies all trades) that had installed two bathrooms for me previously with satisfactory results.
Therefore, I had a combi boiler installed last week...
Hi,
I'm new to this forum, please apologies if this is not posted in the right section, or an answer exists already somewhere.
I have this issue: no hot water in any tap in the house, but the central heating works fine. The boiler is a Vaillant system 15.
A gas engineer had a diagnosis and...
Hi Guys,
Got a Main Combi 24 HE which is stuck on flame failure. Customer had a gas leak on the gas run which was repaired, after this the customer turned the boiler on from the spur and the boiler is was stuck on flame failure which flashes slowly.
When hot water demand is given the pin hits...
My own boiler at home has developed an intermittent fault causing an ignition lock out every week or two when there is a demand for hot water. When reset the boiler runs without issue for a week or two. This fault only occurs on HW demand, there has never been a lock out on CH demand. Ideal tech...

Also have plugged the boiler into an extension lead on top of a toilet. (I will try and add a picture)
Any advice if this is ok or not please
A LL cert costs around £50 in my area for 2 appliances.
I find that I am really struggling to complete it in an hour to make it worthwhile for me.
At the same time, I don't want to be cutting corners like those charging £30 and in and out in 15 min.
I just did one recently that took me 2 hours...

Hello. First of all I’m new to this site. I’m in the process of doing my apprenticeship, but now with the current circumstances we are not working. I have a couple of basic questions which no doubt will raise eyebrows, but every body starts somewhere.
In tightness testing. Regarding permissible...
