New problem

[SafeGasInstall]

Don't think so Stan. It was at 1.9 bar when i left it at 12 oclock and had been running ok the night before. She came in at half 8 and the pressure was at 0.2 and the heating off. Told her to top it up and stop about 1.5 so she said it is 4.? is that enough:banghead:. Aye that will do, i'll come out in the morning.
Luckily it is only 5 miles away.

Enjoy yer Glenmorrangie

Switch was jammed... All fixed. No need for sarcasm though. I came here for friendly advice and initially received just that. Stan, you offered me a free install quote which I gratefully accepted. You took one look at the boiler and diagnosed a faulty PRV... It took you less than one minute. I was honest and told you that I was going to arrange for someone to come and look at it the day after (Alex) but you quoted me a fair price.... £90 and I accepted because I was so grateful that you came out of your way.

i texted you to say thanks and you explained that you needed to add another £50 to the price because you diagnosed the problem. All I said was I thought it was a bit much to add £50 and politely declined your offer. I ended up buying the PRV for £7 and getting it fitted for £22. The bloke that came tonight unjammed the switch in 3 minutes and charged £10.

I appreciated the offers but decided to go my own way. No hard feelings though....

Ciao

aint it funny how customers can buy things then say it only cost so much they forget you have to source it then pick it up from the suppliers or does it just miraculously appear in your van from the spare part fairy

And get some one to fit it for £22 🙂

 

[tom609]

[brady]

Do you need to be gsr to do this??? You will need unvented tickets. Which they prob didn't have.

ones purely voluntary and is my hobby at the end of the day, but It does mean I lose a fair bit of work doing it. I dont do shift work like yourself to be able to do 2 jobs and I happpen to be a rather good heating engineer imvho as its taken quite a few years to learn the trade working full time at it. The lifeboat bit is relaxation and the reward of giving something back to the community and for nothing but someones elses thanks when you apppear over the horizon for them at 0100 in a ****ty sea. To do that does involve a lot of commitment and time but its worth it on the odd occassion you save a life which you might realise in your salaried job🙂
