Non condensing combi install

[so-solar]

I went to look at a boiler change this evening, The customer has a worcester junior 24i non condensing combi in the garage that is brand new, They want this boiler fitting in a flat that they have converted above their garage!

Where do i stand in regards to fitting this?

I know that non condensing boilers are not available anymore but if this customer bought it 5,
6 years ago can it still be fitted?

I left the ball in their court and asked them to do the homework, but i am also going to folllow it up!

Cheers

If the moneys right mate then crack on. If you dont do it someone else will!

What about the registration process?

Is it fitted in the garage? Or just lying in the box? If its fitted then you would only be moving it. If its in the box then good luck trying to register it. Personally I wouldnt fit it but then again thats because I dont need the hassle.

it is in the box mate.......................

Ive just re-read your post and worked that out now...My heads not working this evening for some reason...

Iff it's brand new, don't do it. If the poo hits the fan, as sure as eggs are eggs the finger will get pointed at you. You can't register it without drawing attention to the fact that it's not band a. Warranty will be interesting as well.

As AP said if you don't the odds are on someone else will so you might as well get the cash. Just explain you can't register it, it won't have a guarantee etc etc and write them out a cp12. If it fails to start or breaks down in a few months that is the chance they take.
One thing for sure, the boiler police won't come knocking on the door.

The local council have been known to chase these up round these parts. Also iff the house gets sold the solicitors want certificates, I've had that a few times when the customers have lost them. Any way isn't it different in Scotland.

Do not think anyone has come forward with a definitive answer as to any penalties that may come your way (if any), but from April 2011 you must fit a band A boiler to comply with environmental regs.

If for whatever reason this instal was drawn to the attention of building control, would they have power to peruse you for what is essentially an illegal installation? I do not know!

I suppose would be a case of, if your need for the work overbalances the chance of some hassle (however small or unlikely) down the road take the job, as someone mentioned, "someone is going to do it".

Some things are different in Scotland but the general rules are the same.
If the customer is aware of the potential problems it is their decision and there are ways around most things.

A bit like fitting a new boiler on a system with no trv's or a 200m2 house without zoning. Who cares really if someone can't afford it or doesn't want it.

Sometimes this country just defies belief.
Gerry any seats on that plane to Oz?

Cash up front, no receipts, the customer takes the chances not you, they are the ones who believe they are benefiting.

I can't see a problem if they need something in writing (being landlords) you can always service on it next week.

as said just do it some one will registering it isnt compulsory for you as the fitter its the home owners responsibility to inform building control if you must do any paperwork sign it g quigley sydney
