Commercial gas

[SteveWannadoGas]

Hi chaps and Happy Christmas!

Just wanted to know, does anyone on here do commercial gas? How much more difficult is it than domestic?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Yes a few people and very hard

 

[SteveWannadoGas]

Happy Christmas Shaun! I imagined it was a bit harder but not insurmountable? How hard can it be?

Get through your domestic gas mate and get some experience first

You`ve got to learn to walk before you can run!
What exactly have you done so far and for how long plus what are you doing now?

 

[Dotty]

There's a lot more calculations, heating circuits are split into modulated and constant temp, bms controls with optimised stop/start, multiple zoned systems not to mention dual fuel oil and gas systems.

Fault finding can, sometimes, take days.....

Nothing to do with Travel lodges, meeting new friends and having a break from Mrs Crops then?:17:

I got this naive idea that it was really a scaled up version of domestic? But at least Im thinking if you`ve got domestic, it would be a smaller step than learning gas from scratch? Maybe I`m completely wrong?

 

[SteveWannadoGas]

gosh, just imagine if you were being paid for all those days fault finding. Youd be rich!

Im just interested to know what options are available, post registration?

What have you got in the way of plumbing background Steve?? And are you actually working in the field now??

Shhhhhh!

Opps, sorry pal.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Wrong way worse and harder

 

[Riley]

Steve??

You have now been asked on a number of occasions what your background is. You're dragging up old threads. You've admitted to failing your ACS but are still trying to run before you can walk.

You are concerning me a great deal.

Please begin by answering the background question.

Lets start with a basic one.

The meter can be as big as a domestic boiler and you need your van to drive to find it and hope they've given you the right padlock key.
And the pipework can be hundreds of metres long in total.

It's not a bigger version of Domestic, it's a whole new World.
No need to worry about dirtying the carpet when you're 6mtrs up in the air on a scissor lift servicing a Radiant tube.

Ps, I've never done Domestic apart from my own house/s, so can't truly compare them.
