This forum comes up with a plethora of people.

- DIY'ers
- DIY'ers pretending to be Plumbers
- Genuine people who want our help and advice.
- Plumbers wanting advice from other Plumbers.

.......and now we can add a new type of person......

- Capitalist Pig Landlord -
( as the OP referred to himself )

As for the problem - I don't think I would change the heat exchanger and hoped that would fix the problem.
There would be around 10 things I would check before even contemplating a heat exchanger change.

I think you need someone with more experience that the person you are dealing with at the moment

[Old Account]

Haha,
My wife is doing exactly the same. I don't deal with the paperwork at all, I hate that so much. She is doing really well and does the job to perfection. She is chasing outstanding payments, works etc 🙂

 

[kevineaton]

my email address works fine....try it again! wasnt sure if i could actually put a proper email adderss in a post...a lot of forum's dont like it....hence the support AT 247computerdoctor.com. its [email protected]

and frankly, dont be wowed by i5 etc. what you need is a decent SSD in the machine. 4gb ram tops. cpu is unimportant for what you do with it. spend the money on the ssd, a samsung 850 pro is the only one to have. and win 7 not, the crap that is win 10. i sell really good refurb laptops. anyway, drop me an email if you want help.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Any reason you say cpu isn't important as I disagree

Good spec laptop is a must

i5-62-6500
8gb ddr3
Samsung 840-850 evo (500-1tb)
Windows 7 or 8.1 agree don't go windows 10 yet

 

[kevineaton]

Depends what you do with it. Unless gaming or heavy database /spreadsheet / video editing you don't even need an i3. Bottleneck is hard disk. 8gb is nice but 4 is more than enough for most people. 850 pro Ssd is the key. And stay on 7. It needs proper security (trend wfbs for instance no crap like norton / mcafee etc) and setting up securely and backup too if you don't want to lose stuff. Your opinion may vary but I've been in IT 2 decades so I'm happy with my recommendations and processes. Waste your money on an i5 if you want, you won't use it unless you do something it demands. Most of the time for normal use you won't even use 2 of the cores. Better to spend the money where it counts.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

840 evo or 850 evo are more than good enough and the 30-40 saving can go to something else

 

[king of pipes]
