Only if you don't fit em right, rest is covered by 7 year warranty so all good, by the best customer service going!

Mark will be along in a minute to shout Baxi!

You keep saying this, I don't get it lol. How can fitting it right stop plastic from cracking? ;)

You must be the only one in the north of England that's fitting them right then Vern, cos I've never seen one that wasn't pants.

Takes me an hour to fill out benchmark and teach customers how to use controls. Takes at least another hour to flush properly (assuming no powerflusher). Leaving approx 2 hours to decom old and fit new boiler, possibly uprate gas and run new condensate. I couldn't do it and I wouldn't want to.

I let you in on the secret Tom......

Turn up fit to a good standard, fit filter on return and cold mains etc...ensuring thoroughly flush an water treatment, full commission to spec with FGA, bench mark etc

Then just before you put the case on, spray expanding foam into the bottom half of the boiler, this holds it together lovly!

Yep benchmark and instruct on use, especially if a new control is used, I.E they had a Randall 103 now a cm927 is a good hour easy!

Won't argue with that, it's showing the customer how it works that takes time, or do you do there's the manual love lol

That was my point. I actually program it for them while showing them how to do it, then run through ALL the buttons, inc party mode etc

I don't work for tenants. I work for customers who I want to call me back in future, and i want their friends and family to call too. They might not remember what you said, but they'll remember that you said it, and that counts for a lot.

Not critisizing but flushing through, taking time, not killing yourself and charging a decent rate works for me, hence my price regime and the custards then call me back for repairs and servicing. dont do yourself down your worth more surely

Bang on Tom, me as well, but H4S is in a different work sector where "usually" it's quantity over quality, H4S maybe doing top banana installs at 2 a day, but I know the ones I see are rushed, thrown in, no flush, benchmark would be the same figures if you went to their last 50 jobs etc, I just about do one a day but if gas upgrade flush, or condensate is tricky I let it run over to the next morning, all my work is mainly recommendation or from WB.

I class £66 per hour as decent rate and boiler changes is hardly killing yourself bread and butter imo , hence why i stated in an earlier post i dont do full heat installs thats killing yourself, or fitting stainless steal on ships can be back breaking .

good rate but how can you fit 2 a day and comply with mfis flushing etc such that the boilers will work for a reasonable timescale. I presume that its for housing association etc

I work to exactly the same time frame. Or if jobs far away I'll stay late.
