You also cannot get all documents on the day. The boiler has to be registered with manufacturer and gas safe. Paperwork takes a few days normally. Also definitely no powerflush there. Any filters?

I do have pic BUT it's just the boiler itself, i was surprised ALL the existing Ferroli piping virtually aligned with the Baxi, ie no crossovers.

I did go up the attic as well and checked the flue etc, all new x2 45 degrees and x2 supports. (I installed a wired room stat i had spare).

ALL other quotes were £1550-£1700.

Cannot see a filter on the heating or on the incoming. I also wouldn’t couple the condense like that. But as long as it is safe and you are happy.

 

[Harvest Fields]

Also you shouldn’t be taking the case off the boiler to fit your stat. YOU ARE NOT GAS SAFE REGISTERED.

I had a gas safe cert, boiler was registered on the day with baxi andgas safe register, i will have them in the post, no filter.

I never removed the boiler cover just 'dropped down' the the bottom part to remove link/fit stat...

I'm a spark, how many plumbers on here are Part P or similar to connect the mains ??

No filter mean no warranty. They need to fit a filter.

Don't need to be part p unless your fitting the fused spur from that were fine to wire

In theory if cleaned and inhb installed there's no need for a filter but it's worth a 100 just for peace of mind

Warrenty ok with no filter aslong as system is cleaned / clean

The first thing they do now from what I am told is a water check? Not sure it will be clean enough in 2 hours?

Jumped the gun a bit there. Sorry. My bad. Forgot that Baxi have the drop down pcb and seperate combustion cover

 

[bilabonic]

Yep, just two screws and it drops down, then one screw to remove plastic cover that has LNE and stat connection.
