    What to charge customers...

    I’m trying to get an idea about what I should be charging as I’ve been told I’m not charging enough. I don’t want to charge too much as I don’t like the idea of ripping people off but don’t want to be working too cheap either. I’m in NW Kent. Can anyone give me an idea of what they charge as: a)...

    Alpha Intec 28X intermittent heating.

    Anyone familiar with alphas? Not worked on one before. I had one a couple of days ago that had no heating but DHW was working ok. Problem started out intermittent then got worse until it didn't work at all. Heating would heat up the flow to max then shut down quite quickly until temp dropped...

    Remeha Avanta 18v fuse holder

    Anyone any idea where I can get a fuse holder for an Avanta 18v? It's the 2AT fuse that sits on the PCB. It's sprung and has this silly little metal hook that holds it in place once you twist it. Tiny hook snapped off so fuse wont stay in board so boiler wont run unless you hold the fuse in. My...

    Ecotec ignition failure f28

    Hi guys, I'm after some advice from the more experienced gas guys. I've been GasSafe for just over a year - qualified via an intensive course (which I know some of you guys have a downer on) after redundancy. I make no claims of understanding everything about boilers as a lot comes with...

    Ravenheat cs250 combi

    Not familiar with these boilers. Had first one today, no heating or hot water but appears to be running normally with no error codes. Had me scratching my head. Fault-finding in installation manual wasn't much help either. Anyone come across this before?

    Remeha Avanta 18v boiler very slow

    I've been putting in some new rads on a y-plan system. Came to running the system and it was incredibly slow to heat up. At first I thought it was something i'd done but after numerous checks it became evident that it was the boiler. Flow and return gave 15.5 degree difference and flow temp...

    Open-vented system with no expansion pipe

    Can anyone tell me if there is any situation where, on an open vented system, you wouldn't have an expansion pipe on either the cold water cistern or the F&E tank? I came across it today. Looked like a decent install otherwise but it struck me as odd. The owner said he'd been told by the...

    Booster pumps

    Hello, I'd like to pick some of your brains if I may? Ive just replaced a kitchen tap in a ground floor flat and the customer is complaining that the hot flow is a trickle, which it is. It was before too. They have an open vented system with the hot cylinder on the floor in a cupboard off the...
