utility
As a topic of economics, utility is used to model worth or value. Its usage has evolved significantly over time. The term was introduced initially as a measure of pleasure or happiness as part of the theory of utilitarianism by moral philosophers such as Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill. The term has been adapted and reapplied within neoclassical economics, which dominates modern economic theory, as a utility function that represents a single consumer's preference ordering over a choice set but is not comparable across consumers. This concept of utility is personal and based on choice rather than on pleasure received, and so is specified more rigorously than the original concept but makes it less useful (and controversial) for ethical decisions.

The boiler has just been serviced and lots of new parts fitted, On firing up all works fine for approx 15 seconds then the flame cuts out but the motor keeps running, after approx 10 seconds the flame fires up again for 15 seconds and the same thing happens. If I remove the front door/cover of...
Hi! I've been chasing the smell under our stairs/cellar for so long and have had many things fixed one by one, the smell still remains, next investigation is the boiler!
They say a picture is worth a 1000 words. Here's 4:
The boiler is a condensing boiler, I think it's a "Warmflow Utility...
My Danesmoor is on last legs. Actually was when I posted on here two years ago asking about Firebird as a replacement, but limped along. Now however the writing really is on the wall so need to replace this summer.
Heating engineer is wedded to Firebird but not heard good things about out of...
I have a worcester greenstar camray utility 12/18 oil boiler and we have not used the hot water for years on the boiler we use it for just heating as we have electric shower and dishwasher etc. This year we thought we would use the hot water, but on turning the hot water on it only heats the...
Our not so trusty but very efficient Warmflow is currently incontinent!
Over the past 10 years, I've tightened all the fittings, installed new fibre washers ad nauseum, replaced the expansion tank, the flow meter and just this week the PRV.
The boiler is losing water somewhere but looking at...
Recently I had a gas meter changed, our old one was over 30yr old, and the metal bracket had completely corroded - it was in bits.
After it was changed I checked and noticed they have fitted the new meter to what's left of the corroded bracket.
I've been arguing with First Utility ever since...
Hi I just serviced a a 32/50 greenstar utility, my first as I’ve only just registered with Oftec. My question is are they usually so filthy. It wasn’t serviced for 2 years apparently but I’ve come away looking like a chimney sweep. It took me far to long but half the time was cleaning the thing...
Hi all,
The tap we use for our washing machine has a very slow drip coming from the handle (when turning handle the drip flows faster and then settles again)
It also seems to drip even when turned off.
Is there any sealent/putty type thing I can apply to the joint to stop it dripping?
If not...
Hi,
We bought our house in 2013 . The owner before had a terrible sun room constructed on the rear.
Inside it there are two drains . Both Gullys I believe, one has the bathroom waste going to it , the other has the kitchen / washer waste and the guttering run off from the conservatory.
The...
I have got up this morning to a cold house and noticed the boiler was making a noise but was not firing, the oil tank is 3 quarters full and it worked perfectly the night before. The pressure gauge is reading 2.5 bar and the lockout switch is not illuminating. There is water dripping from a few...
Good morning
I have an open vented gravity fed system and had a leaking tap on my bathroom sink so decided to replace both while I was at it. I turned off the valve to the immersion heater and ran the taps until nothing came out and just replaced the innards of both taps like for like and put...
