hopefully if your oftec you know what your doing so it shouldnt happen, just makes it easier for them to chew your bum if you are!
I believe OFTEC is all of the registered members because without us it wouldn't exist, that said we must take some ownership of it by promoting the standards OFTEC stands to enforce by promoting OFTEC.
For example on this web site we can have a badge that says we are Gas safe (in my case RGII) hence promoting Gas Safe, when asked about the badge I did not see much response from the administrators.
If we don't play our part in educating the consumwer we are just making the job in the OFTEC office harder, we can cry and whinge or we can try to make the OFTEC brand as well known as Gas Safe.
Worst case the consumers will start asking "What's this OFTEC I kept seeing"?
Looks good on paper and I agree with what you are saying, but when the prospective customer is looking at an estimate from an oftec installer and somebody who isn't going to bother they'll expect it to work and one will be cheaper.
Now if oftec was going to be more proactive in weeding out the dangerous non registered people then all well and good. But they don't give a monkeys and that's official.
re the insurance, if you dont install why pay insurance, no one has answered that one yet, hence why i havent paid it. complete con, cowboys still going about and doing what they like and we just go in after and fix the problems or leave a warning that is ignored! AS before if you install to regs why is there a need to insure in case you dont?
