Discuss New boiler - questionable install in the Gas Engineers Forum area at PlumbersForums.net
Installing new cabling and fuse spur was including in the origianl quote. Also pipe work being routed outside and no agreement of removing toiletLooks neat to me maybe the electrics was not in original estimate.
I will check instructions, thank youThere’s a switch right by it, would only need changing if it’s not already fused. Receivers are usually 30cm away from boiler to prevent interference, but as suggested check the instructions. Extension lead and trailing cable is a no-no. Also flue could be too close to that air vent depending on if it’s vented outside.
I take it you have checked this?The switch has no cables to or from.
As long as you have it writing in the quotation then I’d say you can take them to court, or however else it’s dealt with. I would check that vent too, as then gas safe could get involved.Scope was to install wiring. Instead they put a plug on the boiler, plugged it in and left
Now refusing to fix
Silly question maybe... what do i need to check with the vent? TIAI take it you have checked this?

No not a silly question at all. Basically check the vent on the other side of the wall, if it’s vented, then it’s too close.Silly question maybe... what do i need to check with the vent? TIA
It looks like this externally (got picture on line as im not at home at the moment)No not a silly question at all. Basically check the vent on the other side of the wall, if it’s vented, then it’s too close.

And yes checked the spur. There is no electrics in the house other than temporary extension leads until rewire starts. Thats why it was in the scopes of work for the boiler installSilly question maybe... what do i need to check with the vent? TIA
If that’s definite and it’s not sealed with cement and vented fully through then it’s been installed as at risk imo. It might be worth a call to gas safe if this is found to be true.It looks like this externally (got picture on line as im not at home at the moment)
I'd suggest even if it's been sealed up, it's too close. Not sure the gas regs would consider anything other than the possibility that the vent could pass air, so long as it it is there at all. (Waiting to get shot down by the forum gas installers if this assumption is wrong).No not a silly question at all. Basically check the vent on the other side of the wall, if it’s vented, then it’s too close.
True. Worth checking the quote. It may say 'connect to existing electrical installation'. But logically the extension lead plugs in somewhere.If there's no wiring in house then how are they supposed to wire it in?
