Full disclosure, I am an Electrician.
One of my older clients has just had her fire capped off because it doesn't comply with today's regs and was told the regs are now retrospectively applied.
This is the opposite of what I am used to. For example, if I do an electrical inspection and find a...
Hi I've been to a customer today that has a 9 year old baxi duo tec40kw boiler,it runs 20 radiator that all work fine,they have 2 bathrooms and 1 electric shower and again have no issues with hot water.Over the last 4 years baxi have repaired the boiler on 8 occasions, with faults on gas valve...
Halfway through changing a hydraulic block on a greenstar 28i junior I got a call from the baxi rep.
That can't be a coincidence!...?
Bit late now but how are you supposed to get the clip back on that flow sensor assembly 🤬
I grind the clip tips down to a flat and work in with grips but I know...
Hi Guys,
Have a Biasi Riva Compact HE MK2 32 SM/C.
Boiler is not igniting for heating or ho water. The operating light is flashing green however when a hot tap or heating is turned on the light keeps flashing green and boiler is not going through ignition sequence.
Any ideas, gas supply is...
Hi guys

Hi,
Just wanting to know what the best gas analyser would be for someone starting out. Obviously at the moment cost if a big factor, some of the models are really expensive.
I have been looking at the TPI DC710 as this seems the cheapest and doesn't seem like the annual calibration cost is...
Hi all,
I'm due to change my first plate on a Worcester Greenstar next week (not looking forward to it).
I found this on Youtube. Is it really as easy as this guy says? And what about checking/replacing the O-rings?
Any tips most welcome.
Thanks
Jennie
Not doing so much work these days but came across a platinum where the boiler heating stat was on full.
Yet I noticed on max the boiler stat was only reading 30 on full . Owner had thought it wasn't getting that hot at the rads. I always recalled the boiler stat could be turned on max and red...
Hello to the forum, I just thought I would share this response from GAs-safe.. I had occasion to suspect that an install was dangerous by a non qualified engineer in a commercial kitchen where people are working so I alerted gas safe to the fact , I guess that was a mistake but the reply is...
Hi Guys,
Needed bit of help on a Vaillant Ecotec 832 which has a pressure issue. The boiler pressure is rising when the CH was running. I have checked the expansion vessle static and charge is showing 1bar on my pump, which I believe means the vessle is good or best to still recharge again...
I've had a spate of low pressure issues recently.
MWP @ about 17.5mb
Centrica engineers are a special breed but I couldn't take being told again that I was wrong so I asked the last one to prove the pressure was OK. The guy quite confidently passed me his basic u-gauge to confirm my digital one...
Hi all,
My boiler was kind of new & installed last year July, I know there's build-in frost protection.
Also, there's an old external frost protection (attached photo) that the engineer did not disconnect it when installed the new boiler. I wonder if I need to disconnect/get rid of the old...
Hi, I am new to the industry and have recently passed my CCN1 course i have received my Gas safe id etc i am a member.
I am not qualified to work on Gas cookers/hobs
However, I have a few jobs offered, to service boilers only. in these properties, there is a gas hob. They are both...

I have a strange fault with a Vaillant EcoTec combi-boiler.
It's 100% reliable whenever the heating is called for, ie. by the room-stats.
It's also 100% reliable when hot water is called for, ie. hot tap or shower, as long as the heating isn't running at the time. But if the heating is already...
Hi,
I have Joule Cyclone 170L cylinder and just carried out the first service. Gas engineer found d1 discharge pipe is 800mm, 200mm over the manufacturer approved length. This is a new build house and this was installed last year.
Would like to know whats the impact of this. Same time the...
Hi all
I have a problem with a Worcester 24 CDI RSF.... The old worcester with the grey front..... the problem is low hot water pressure....I've had this before and have never managed to solve it.... checked the filter on the cold inlet and checked the plate heat exchanger too.... any ideas 💡
Hi Guys,
Had a quick question regarding expansion vessel on a Vaillant Ecotec Plus 832. Was servicing the boiler and upon attaching hand pump to vessle after having drained the boiler, returns and flows isolated and drain off on boiler open, the vessle showed 1 bar charge.
Was wondering why...
The flue for a glow worm micron 30ff is apparently obsolete but there must be other flues that would fit it surely, it's just a standard 100mm horizontal flue right?
I mean when a bg gas engineer tells you that you'll have to change the whole boiler as well because you can apparently no longer...
Done service on eco tec plus - all working on leaving. Next evening get a call to say now F70 & F42 fault codes coming up.
Which say incorrect part fitted or not set up, only thing I replaced was combustion door gasket.
Apart from that just gave it clean and done safety checks as normal...
Hi,
I have a balanced compartment boiler house, fitted with 3 forced draught open flued boilers, is this acceptable?
Don't have access to ige/up/10 to double check, and the literature I do have is very light on the subject.
Thank you.
