A near constant note when the boiler is fired. Appears to be from Venturi/Fan area. Any ideas on fix
A domestic Gas Standard pre-payment Meter was exchanged for a Gas Smart Meter (SM) and then connected back to the pre-existing pliable/semi-rigid/anaconda connectors.
I believe this is illegal and breaks laws and regulations when this was done on 30 March 2017.
But my Utility company who had the...
Do I really need to spend £150 on a fluke for general fault finding?
Have some problems with my boiler that cant seem to get fixed. It's a worcester bosch greenstar cdi 30 combi and it's about 5/6 year old I think.
So basically the boiler has been making like a burning/hot metal smell. But it seems to only make the smell when the boiler has been like working...
My old trusty Testo 510 gauge has nearly bitten the dust. Which electronic pressure gauge would you guys recommend as a replacement?
Hi can i get some advice, does the facia and soffit of the house class a eave, as the flue coming out of the wall is more then 200mm from the eave but only 20mm away from soffit and facia. Would it still need to be a distance of 200mm or would it be 75mm same as guttering and drain pipes...
Evening everyone
LLGSC on a gas hob in a basement. No FSD abe of the control nobs had seized. Cut and capped, Immediately Dangerous warning notice issued.
A colleague says it should be AR and has phoned gas safe who also agree with him.
I have quoted the unsafe procedures on what grounds I...
Hello everyone.
Iv just read an article on installers magazine that says how much better gas installers find using copper push fit fittings for a boiler swap.
According to the article, unlike plastic push fit fittings which cant be used in close proximity to the boiler, the copper ones can.
So...
Hi all,
Just had a Navien NCB 40kw combi installed by an approved fitter. The DHW rates of the boiler seemed promising on paper - 16.4lpm at a 35 temp rise and 22.9lpm at a 25degree rise. More than adequate for what we need. The only issue now its installed is that I'm not getting any more than...

Would like to know whats the impact of this. Same time the...
Hi Everyone,
I am considering retraining as a gas safe engineer through enrolling on a course that includes 5 weeks of classroom learning, arranged work placement to complete an onsite portfolio and ACS assessments. The course will cost £6k.
I'm 34, currently employed full time as a mechanical...
Hello everyone, It’s been a while. Happy new year.
I’m looking to replace a Britony 2t water heater and just wanted to know what replacement options are out there? I mainly fit boilers, so it’s not something I do. The customer has already bought a replacement Ferroli Sky Eco 17F (which I’ve...
Hi
I had a new boiler installed and wondered if you think this is acceptable workmanship.
Looks like they started to drill a hole at the front and then had to move down.
Thanks for your input.
Hello. First of all I’m new to this site. I’m in the process of doing my apprenticeship, but now with the current circumstances we are not working. I have a couple of basic questions which no doubt will raise eyebrows, but every body starts somewhere.
In tightness testing. Regarding permissible...
I have a new kitchen fit and the gas man just connected the hob and oven (both bayonet fittings low down). There is quite bit of the oven flexible hose and as he resited the oven i asked if it matters that the hose will be touching the oven back. He said no because there is plenty of airspace...
Could someone take a look at this for me please?
Just had a boiler put in our property on a grant scheme. The boiler is great other than him not cleaning the pipework including gas joints before leaving 🙁.
I've cleaned it up and it seems alright.
My other main worry though was what the follow...
All advice appreciated. I've made a number of bad decisions & trying to stop the flow.
I used a small plumbing company (one man band but supplies all trades) that had installed two bathrooms for me previously with satisfactory results.
Therefore, I had a combi boiler installed last week...
Hi Guys, I am not a gas engineer but would like advice on a job I have been quoted. There is a high level gas heater that has to be taken out of service, around 5mtrs up. There is a chance we will want to re-instate it in a year or two so the unit will stay in situ. The room is used for storage...
I've been at this for a while now and am not finding myself to be as settled as I think I should.
When I first took the leap into 'selfemploydom' I thought I was going to TAKE OVER THE WORLD (as many probably do).
But 6 years on and I find myself like a Swan floating about while frantically...
