Hi all, first question for a gas trainee so please go gentle.....lol
Exams start on Thursday and I am at a loss regards adventitious air in a compartment/cupboard.
Do we take the 7kw for adventitious air off an open flue boiler venting to outside same as if it’s in a room?
Getting so many...
My mother in law purchased a free standing New World gas cooker 25 years ago when she was 71 years old and it was used for a couple of months. We then we moved her to a new property and defying all the odds she has just died aged 96!
The cooker has stood in a dry garage and looks like new.
The...
I am hoping you can help me, I live in a high wind area and following the recent storms I noticed that when I got home a metal plate had fallen from the top of my gas fire and become lodged inside the fireguard, from what I have managed to research online my fire appears to be a Baxi Allure...
Hi,
I currently work on new builds with very limited work on the repair, maintenance and fault finding side of boilers. I’m currently renewing my ccn1 and cenwat gas card as I type this and it has made me very interested in getting into this line of work or even have a better understanding of...
Hi, wondering if anyone can offer some advice? We just had an extension in the light-well house (lower ground floor), installing a glass roof to the light-well. This is where our gas and electric meters are, as well as the main supply valve. My concern is that this area used to be open and well...
I had a boiler check today all went well, and then he went to check on the gas meter which is in my larder in the kitchen high up on the wall.
That wasn’t too much of an issue, although the gas engineer did say that it wasn’t a common place to have it, but it was there when we moved in so...
Went to a property earlier today, the vaillant ecotec has a variable flu kit installed. The outlet of the flu goes through the roof, the air inlet in inside a built in side way with a plastic roof. I at risked the boiler and want to send the relevant regulation to the client explaining what I...
Hi,
I have a question regarding a disagreement i'm having at work. We recently had a tray-washing tunnel machine with a gas-burner break down due to the burner extract fan being flooded as the submerged heat pipe cracked. The fan was removed and sent away, came back today to be fitted.
My...

Alpha Flame Sensing Electrode part number 3.025192 required asap in Worcestershire. There is a supply issue it appears due to COVID. Please get in touch if you have this part. Many thanks
Hi, thanks for any advice, I'm about to change the pcb on an alpha intec system boiler. The fault code suggests intermittent voltage supply. Visually the case is brown stained almost directly where the transformer is located and a resistor looks like it's been getting very hot on the board. Are...

Hi, I have a Kohlangaz Gosford HE gas fire. It has recently been serviced but when it is set to it's lowest heat output setting using the Remote control the heat output now seems excessive compared to that which we have become used to since it was installed in 2017. I contacted the firm who...
Hello,
Can anybody tell me what the engineer is required to check in the process of doing an annual gas/boiler safety check?
Is there a specific mandatory checklist or process to follow?
The boiler is a Worcester Greenstar HE installed on the kitchen wall.
Thanks,
Mark
Hi I didn't notice that the trap had water in there and when the pump came on it sucked some into the analyser now I'm not getting any readings is this a simple fix any help would be much appreciated
Hi
I recently had an IC Economiser Combi 35 installed with piping upgraded from 15mm to 22mm. A different engineer (ie not the one who installed it) came out today to address a pump overrun issue and, in addition to flagging up a couple of settings which were still on factory default and a...
Was just thinking about ways of monitoring heating system efficiency and the effect of different ways of using the house, what doors and windows are open at what times and the effect of various weather on gas consumption. We can do it for electricity at a household level, but it's fairly...
And this is why I don’t fit Worcester…
trying to help one of my customers out. They had a WB fitted under a year ago which has developed a fault. I told them it would have warranty and to get WB out. Engineer came out and wouldn’t even look at it because he said:
Boiler inaccessible - it’s...
I was paying particular attention to a British Gas radio ad the other day where certain efficiency and cost saving claims where being made. Oh and there it is, a disclaimer at the end of the ad said in rapid fashion that the savings claimed were based on a Band G boiler or less than 70%...
