maintain
The technical meaning of maintenance involves functional checks, servicing, repairing or replacing of necessary devices, equipment, machinery, building infrastructure, and supporting utilities in industrial, business, and residential installations. Over time, this has come to include multiple wordings that describe various cost-effective practices to keep equipment operational; these activities occur either before or after a failure.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Just wondering what you need to install Biomass, Baxi do a Biomass course but does that just qualify you to work on their kit?
What qualifications or pre requisites do you need to register with MCS for installing them and finally, could anyone recommend any courses?
Cheers

Got asked to look at one this week. Faulty fuel pump.
Just wondering if anyone else works with them and are there any typical faults / problems to watch out for?
I have an issue with a plumbed in mains pressure mixer shower. When running the shower the boiler will cycle to a very nice warm temperature around 56degC(?) and then switches off (as it is up to temperature?). The shower will then use up its reserve of warm water then start to refill it...

It is a boilerhouse model which is cased in an insulated cover.
I noticed a small amount of water on the floor below it and discovered that it appears to be coming from inside the casing.
Speaking to Grant they tell me that the insulated casing cannot...
