Okay. So this is off a lady in my street. She tried to get on a contract with a big company...I'll let you guess. So anyway I get a text saying could I have a quick look at the boiler as it need some work done before they take her on. I ask what is wrong via our lads to which the reply comes 'the flue is disconnected and needs sorted' I laugh and say yea what really worng and ask for a picture. This comes to me. I told her to turn If off and went straight over. Apparently this company say it's only AR....BUT it had been left on and the sheet said the customer had refused to allow it to be turned off. (Lies). Anyway I tell her it's ID and do the necessity and leave her some heaters. I told her to complain to them to ask why their boiler has been left ID. She did and the company sent out another engineer for confirmation...to which she was told 'it's only AR,use it at your own risk'. I have since told her not to use it under any circumstances and have reported this to the local gas safe inspector. Out of everyone I've showed for opinion (15 people) everyone said ID....apart from the 2 people from this company.
It isn't leaking right now no. It's the air intake really. You can see into the boiler from the top!
ID,if you class that as AR you need help
It's not an immediate danger, It's combustion is not effected and it is not leaking fumes.
Each engineer will obviously use their own discretion.
Like above really, Shuv it back on at fix the problem is the best way to deal with it.
Re fix it to boiler !!!
ID for me. The boiler is no longer a room sealed appliance as its open to the room.
