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
Hi,
Just wanting to know what the best gas analyser would be for someone starting out. Obviously at the moment cost if a big factor, some of the models are really expensive.
I have been looking at the TPI DC710 as this seems the cheapest and doesn't seem like the annual calibration cost is...

I currently work in an office job on mid 20's salary and hate being chained to the desk.
Looking for a career change to become a gas and heating engineer.
I have came across various courses which offer retraining such as the below...
Hi
I have completed my Domestic Gas Engineer foundation training. Unfortunately, the opportunity they don't not offer portfolio completion.
I live in Reading Berkshire. I don't mind to travel around my Reading area to complete my portfolio. Bracknell, Maidenhead, Basingstoke these are close by...
I have a domestic gas meter located at one side of my building and my boiler/cooker (only 2 gas devices) on the other side of the building. There is currently a 28mm gas pipe from meter to the boiler which is approx 25m and a further 5m to the gas cooker. My gas engineer is saying that the...
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...
I'm due to fit my first gas fire (been servicing them for a while, but not yet fitted one). The previous fire's 8mm pipe runs from the right hand side of the chimney opening. Quite possibly, the new fire will take a side entry pipe. However, I'm curious - if I need to re-run the pipe, so it...

Hi
Can anyone help?
I've got a problem with an intermittent EA fault on a Worcester Greenstar 38CDi Classic GC 47-406-38. I was called out to it but couldn't get it to go to fault- each time it fired up however, on a video the customer took he kept having to reset it.
I checked the gas rate...
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...
Hi All
Has anyone ever questioned the reasons why Vaillant MIs for their vertical flue termination refer to damp exhaust air escapes from “channel vents” may condense in the air pipe and cause damage to the product, this would suggest that the flue terminal has to be at least 1 meter away on...
Hi All
I'm after a new sniffer for gas leaks... I purchased a Kane CD100A gas leak detector and at first it seemed like the best purchase I've ever made and made my life a load easier when I had those late call outs.... however it seems to be playing up and is maybe not as accurate as it...
The holder for the test nipple is loose moved when tightening and un-tightening the test nipple. Is it usual to just unscrew this, paste and tighten back up?
hi there,
i have started my gas engineer course and so far really enjoying it, pipe bending and soldering are a little messy 😆but i got material to practice at home so hopfully neaten all that up. We have been asked to write a mission statement for tightness testing but the instructor hasnt...
Apologies if this is a dumb question but is it against gas regs to swage a copper gas pipe?
Just to be really clear I will not be doing any of the work mentioned below. This will all be carried out by Gas Safe Engineers.
I'm looking to get a Gas Safe engineer to move a boiler from the main house to the garage. As part of this process I will also be getting the main gas supply and...
Hi all
I have this old Potterton Profile 50e in the garage, disconnected from water and gas six years ago when a new system was installed in the loft. The pipes are all disconnected I just can't figure out how best to get it off the wall! Any ideas? Pic hopefully attached. Thank you.
Hi all. Hope you are all good and are doing ok with work due to lockdown, self isolating etc.
What instruments did people purchase to comply with this bulletin?
I only paid £160 for a fluke 116 last year and now need to spend a lot more due to this bulletin.
Cheers all.
