Re: Commercial Gas other corgi elements, is it worth it ?????
I did commercial elements thinking that I will get lots of work from small hotels and offices.
The reality is that it was a waste of time and I have not renewed them! I did a few and it was always the same story! Boilers failed as a result of no maintenance and they always wanted it done immediately but paying was another story! Tony |

What do you mean fuzzy??
the regs are divided by the scope and volume of the pipework and fittings. a Factory could be commercial and it could also be industrial or even domestic depends on the appliances and pipe volumes!!! |

Re: Commercial Gas other corgi elements, is it worth it ?????
yes charter gas, ithe regs dont cover factory installations, if your on about <70kW on a heating/hot water system inside a factory then yes it would be covered because it would be classed domestic installation, the new ACS does consider larger bore pipe now, it never had to until bigger combis come out, now long runs and large outputs can require 35mm pipe, that is a different purge volume than a 22m short run.
if we are on about a machine that requires gas then it wouldnt come under it |

Re: Commercial Gas other corgi elements, is it worth it ?????
I do domestic and commercial.
If you put a standard cooker in a factory it does not mean it comes under a commercial ticket. Commercial is up to 1.8 mw (mega watts) and a pipe volume of <1m3 and a pipe size of 150 and less industrial is above pre mentioned. The problem with 35mm on domestic is that 995 of installers wont install purge points or now or have qualification for the purging!! let alone the equipment |
