Interesting discussion ongoing on Pistonheads Forum, Home and DIY section. There are some muppets here but also some very knowledgeable people who have gone through the regs with a fine toothcomb and assert that provided you are not doing it for profit/reward or for someone else, then...
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...
Good morning everyone,
I have a big old vicarage which needs a new regular boiler. They also want fancy mixer taps in the kitchen . They have two hot water cylinders linked together, a shower pump and curved old radiators in the bay windows. I'm agonizing over what to do. The easiest option is...
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...
Hi,
We are designing and building cooking gas bottles with electronics controlled valves. These are for kids camping chalets. Its purely a safety feature because its kids. As you can tell, there is no big market for this product, its just to get these kids out camping.

The boiler downstairs was serviced (not to be confused with the one with the gas leak - this is a separate boiler). The chap said the flame was not burning that well and so he readjusted it.
All seemed well.
Today I looked up at the house. Given that the downstairs boiler is never used...

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,

Hi All, Hoping for some words of wisdom from people in the know! I am in a flat with a shared flue system. Currently have a 22year+ old Valiant non-condensing combi boiler fitted. Increasingly needing repair and struggling to find parts. The flat fits the exemption criteria for installing...
Hi recently my pre paid gas ran out. I checked and I had 15 credits. I know my mums boiler had the same issue where it shuts off if there are only 15 credits left. She tells me an engineer comes and does something that takes 2 seconds and its working but he never told her why. Its a Vaillant...
Had to switch off an old fellas heating today as he had no fixed ventilation for warm air unit, tried to argue the benefits of letting him use it but was bashed with the letter of the 'law' by gassafe advisor.
I totally get the point but when does it become ok (no a requirement) to leave an 80+...

The expansion vessel had failed and it was fitted at the bottom of the cylinder on the floor of the loft. The control valve...

It goes like this :
If I have a boiler in DHW only everything works as it should, but then I switch it to DHW and heating. Temperature in a room is 21 degrees. I set the boiler to come on when the temperature is 17...
Hi guys. I’m just wondering what some of you may be doing in terms of heating or hot water usage going forward, with all these cost increases? Have any of you moved to solar or renewables? Any good ideas for keeping these costs as low as possible? Cheers. Just curious
Hi,
I have a newly installed boiler which has built-in frost protection, when the installer installed this boiler, they did not disconnect the old external frost stat which is still wired to the boiler.
I assume no newly installed boiler is still wired with old external frost stat, right? So I...
I've just started my gas mlp course , I'm starting to doubt whether I will get a job at the end since I would need experience, I know a couple of people that would allow me to work with them after I have finished my course. I'm aiming to be self employed at the end
Hello team,
first of all, I apologise if this isn't the right section of the forum to ask, if so, please dear moderator, move the thread!
I am here to ask help as I just moved in a new house where I have a boiler that doesn't allow me to specify the temperature for water or for the heating but...
