What would you do if you put in a new 28mm supply in 1st fix and when you come back for the boiler you find the 'electrician' has done this....
Just serviced a Vaillant Ecotec Plus 824 and after putting all back together and filling up got some issues.
The burner keeps modulating between high and low ever few seconds when running hot water. I checked the inlet pressure and all is within parameters per MI.
Heating came on for few...
My installation has been classed as Dangerous 'Do not use' by my boiler manufacturer. I have an Ideal Logic 30kw Combi boiler mounted as high as can be on the kitchen wall. Flue exits out through the wall via an elbow but emerges above a flat roof. Unfortunately it's somewhat less than the...
Vaillant ecoTEC Plus 400 15kW Heat Only Boiler
I've got air in the pump and one gas engineer has said I need to move the pipes as they are configured incorrectly. Another said all I need to do is add an AAV as high as possible. Another said I should seal the system. Boiler was installed in...
Hi guys and girls
I'm based in Oxfordshire, I have 5 years background in plumbing and heating. I currently have my level 2 and 3 in plumbing and heating and I also hold my gas Safe card.
Over the past 5 years I've been working on construction sites in installation (1st & 2nd fix). I feel like...
Hi
If you've been working self-employed, general domestic plumbing and gas work, but want to apply for vacancies with a bigger firm, how do you prove your experience, what do they ask for as evidence?
Most ask for 3 years experience for example but they tend to all use agencies to advertise...
Hi all,
The shop below my flat has recently had gas and an external box installed. Two days ago British Gas fitted a meter then yesterday workman started drilling into box and messing with piping. The box door was left open so I had a look and took these photos.
Obviously I'm concerned...
Could you explain what natural draught r/s means?
Fanned draught r/s?
Natural draught o/f?
Fanned draught o/f?
Ps. Flues are my weak point so any relevant information would be helpful.
Is there a gas reg which says only the original manufacturer can supply replacement parts?
I’m liking for manufacturers who sell compatible or refurbished parts but not really finding any.
Does anyone overhaul failed parts themselves like replacing soft goods kits in gas valves etc?
Hiya fellow gas engineer.
Need some help on this boiler fault.
Went out to this E133 Error on a Potterton Titanium 24 (GC: 47-393-39)
I checked the inlet standing pressure which was at 25mb. Boiler attempts to fire and the pressure drops by 1mb but the gas valve doesn't open. Checked the black...
Can anyone give handy advice for pricing repair jobs, please? Do I add a % on parts? What about a PRV that's hard to get to? Do you take the difficulty into consideration?
Appreciate any advice
Had my father's boiler serviced yesterday. (ITALY)
After the service, I noticed a slight smell of gas around the regulator in the boiler (boiler cover is a hinged door, so easy access). Think this was a pre-existing fault. Not a big leak, and would probably pass a gas leak test, though they...
Hi all. Hope you have all been keeping well.
A while back I decided I only wanted to fit one brand of boiler and decided on Viessmann due to space for servicing and changing parts if ever needing to. I am finding my decision rather hard due to the different clearances on flue runs and cupboards...
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...
Hi all. Has anyone had any issues with these? I had one where it was leaking at the spindle last yr so got a new cartridge for it, went back this year and the new one is leaking in the same place? Cheers
Hi just been to check a family members boiler and I’m getting just over 25mbar working pressure at the meter and 22mbar inlet pressure at the boiler. Standing pressure is 29mbar and done a tightness test and that is all fine. Also did a gas rate and it’s only only showing as 22kw and the boiler...
I know this 'which boiler' thing has been done to death but with more manufacturers offering higher modulation rates I'd really like to get my head around it.
When it comes to reccomending the best im looking for high modulation and good load/ weather compensation options.
Whos leading the way...
I am going back to a Worcester Greenstar 30 CDi Classic that's failing a CO2 emissions test on minimum rate only. I do adjust the gas valve but there is zero effect. I haven't mixed up the "min" and "max" adjustment screws.
What could be causing this boiler to fail on minimum only? It's perfect...
Hi all. Got a few of these boilers coming up to 4yrs old and want to know if anyone has used something other than the recommended service tool which costs £57?
Hi
I've recently qualified as a gas engineer , for the time i was training at the college , i was working as a apprentice for about 6 months. For these 6 months i was assisting on many types of jobs including basic plumbing jobs like gas runs, taps and toilet installs but majority focused on...
