    what can i expect from a 'free boiler' installation

    I remember seeing 'scheme' work put in 15 years ago, (Isar - icos) to me they looked like good installs. I suspect every job will be checked after so the engineer will have to do what's required.

    Weird wiring/pump over run

    3 pumps in total, I think I'll have to have both the pumps running with the DHW zone valve holding the heat from the cyl. (There is a bypass) Or one pump on the pump over run and the other one stopping when the demand ends.

    Are you getting enough sleep?

    I read a post a few weeks back on here, some guy had fitted his own bath, have a little leak and then said he couldn't sleep worrying about it. Most replys just said deal with it, which I agreed with but maybe he was onto something ?

    Cost of a new ideal boiler

    All boiler break and regardless of your budget or what make/model you have installed, the frequency your boiler breaks bares no relationship to the price you pay for the it. However, the only thing to consider when choosing a make is, will the parts be available in 15, 20, 25 years time. I've...

    Nightmare Plumber Who lives Across The Road

    I don't think the police would care, they don't investigate minor crime any more . I'm also not sure that turning the gas off is dangerous, if I find a boiler that's dangerous I turn the gas to make it safe.

    Gas Meter Bracket - Help! Arguing with First Utility

    This is what happens when you dont have to inform ncs to the customer. If you want them to come back to fit a bracket, ring them and demend they remove THEIR meter from YOUR property, inform them you have purchased your own gas meter and will be having your own meter installed.

    Gas Cert Work vs Installations?

    I've been charging £50 for a cert with a hob, am to cheap, it's going up to £65 in the new year . I bet the OP thought he was onto a winner offering £30, I hope the £1000s he claims he has spent doesn't disappear down the drain.

    Gas Cert Work vs Installations?

    I guess it makes sense don't have to do a TT on a service. Just thinking about the op total cert vs installation. It's like he's saying what you rather do, work like a Japanese beaver all day or do some nice certs. What this clown doesn't realise is, lots of boiler installers aren't even...

    Gas Cert Work vs Installations?

    WOW! A TT isn't required to issue a cp12? But there's a question on the cert. Very weird . To the OP, monkeys work for peanuts, Gas Engineers go to prison if we miss something and someone dies. £30 is an absolute insult, I do them for £50 for customers how have a couple of houses, and in...

    2 zone CH but 1 zone heats whole house

    Just ask him to read my posts. Including this one. Building regs require 2 heating zones, having one rad come on upstairs does not constitute a heating zone, it constitutes a pipework installation problem that MUST be resolved for the builder to comply with building regs.

    2 zone CH but 1 zone heats whole house

    A thermal image camera may be required. It may be something a simple as moving the cylinder return so that it's the last return to the boiler, but yes, it may need some serious mess making then making good .

    2 zone CH but 1 zone heats whole house

    Changing the valve will do absolutely nothing, it may not be visiblly moving over but its bringing the rads on so its working fine. You have a piping issue, namely its been piped up incorrectly. That level is there to manually move the valve if the motor inside fails, its not a visual tool to...
