Domestic or commercial?

[dogsbe]

Hi Guys,

I need a little advice as I am getting some conflicting information.

Basically, I am having a small coffee roaster installed in the dinning area of my restaurant and dropping down a liner down the chimney.

I had a commercial gas man to have a look and he said that I need a domestic engineer. I called a domestic engineer, gas safe, and he is happy to do the job. However, my chimney guy is saying that the gasman needs a commercial ticket.

I am thinking that I need a domestic engineer because the the dinning room does not have a commercial air extractor. Can somebody point me in the right direction or at least how to check?

Thanks,
Jonathan

You need someone with commercial catering.

Whereabouts are you?

If you have a commercial gas meter/pipework you need a commercial engineer.
You do not get taught anything about coffee roasters on domestic so that would lead me to think you need a commercial catering engineer.
Ring GasSafe and ask them.

Yeah comcat all the way

Commercial Gassafe with Comcat 1 required.

Reason, Non Domestic appliance in a Commercial location.

Just get a mate who works for council in! Domestics know nothing of this. But a commercial catering bloke will cost you, mostly in damaged and scratched appliances.

i think you'll find commercial gas fitters to be gentle 😀 we used to have them at work in the kitchens but they ended up ripping them out and putting electric tea boilers in instead, i only see them doing the comcat assessment these days 😀

a bit conflicting but we had a vaillant ecotec plus combi within a coffee shop, basically a working coffee shop so by rights a commercial property. I was advised by our tech (i work for a large energy firm) that because the resident stayed at the property and there was living accomadation and the system was of domestic size that we could take this on policy - it was a baby system 11 rads, u6 meter usual stuff, is this correct as I think on occasions the dom/com set up is not very definitive.

Domestic appliance, domestic meter. Domestic ticket

What dose the installation manual tell you and is the appliance CE marked?
