Fault Finding Courses

[armyash]

Is there such a thing as fault finding courses for boilers?

If so are there courses that cover common problems on boilers or is there manufacturer specific courses that would cover their own boilers?

Thanks

Manufactures do there own courses but they only cover there current range of boilers not older ones there are a few books around to help. The only thing is experiance and a lot of ringing technical lines and geting used to going through the process of how the boiler works to know were to look, and a multimeter will be your best friend

I have done the honeywell course which is helpful but not for boiler fault finding. It's more for fault finding the wiring of heating controls, two and three port valves, cylinder stats etc.

Unless they do a different one i don't know about.

no it's not for boilers but nevertheless it's handy to know about.

That Honeywell course sounds like something that could be helpful in the future.
