Hire/lease a flue analyser?

[tommy1712]

Finishing my gas safe training in the next few week a lad on my course is saying about hiring a analyser from the manufacture for around £30 a month.

anyone do this

cost more than buying one over 5 years

Most I know own there own. You can buy ones now at real low cost like the regin one. For 200 quid

At around £30 a month that is therefore going to be about £360 a year obviously to hire.
Most standard analysers cost as little as £200 a year if you allow for calibration and parts I reckon over a 5 or 6 year period.
At £360 a year for a hired analyser you could buy a basic analyser and bin it after a year!
My analyser cost about £500 including printer.

I want the anton evo 3 with printer. Like the idea of being able to print my tightness test so I have proof when I left it was right

kane 455 does and most do

I'd just buy one either new or barley used, better to have your own equipment, although mines currently being repaired and calibrated early and I've got 3 boilers to do

See that's my issue this way I will never be without

I would not recommend the Anton from my experience

I agree with this. I've had loads of trouble with anyone damaging cells when they've been put into high co. My Kane copes so much better.

I just bought the Kane 504 which is £300. The service is £65 which is not bad.
