I've been finding strange ones - like ones you'd thought wouldn't freeze, freezing up. One guys tonight that I fitted, literally has a 1 1/2" elbow coming out the wall into a downspout with no open end, in sheltered spot and that's froze Guess no amount of big pipe and insulation will stop a drip freezing at -8.

Evident the ones that drip, like the Baxis, EcoFits (Glow Worms) and Ideals seem to freeze up more. I've not had any issues with Plus or Pros yet, or some of the newer Worcesters.

That was in the evening after a days work too. If I couldn’t make any jobs they’d get pushed back to the next day. Had 41 jobs today, but my manager and another engineer helped out.

Well it's in, latest project at home. Bit plastering and a lump of oak beam to get it truly finished.

Might get to shave some pennies off of the gas bill.

Little gravity to invent swap ignore the wiring temp found that many junction boxes in the loft easier to rewire in jan

Had a customer on the phone to me today, I couldn't get to fix their worcester se oil combi due to the mother in law dying.
They got somebody else in, heating was fine, no hot water.

So they've been charged £765.00 for pump, diverter head, diverter body and 5 visits.

After first visit they changed head, hot water worked, no heating but only found out after they went.

Second visit was told it was an air lock. Still no heating.

Third visit, fitted a new pump. Still no heating.

Fourth visit new diverter body. Heating and hot water worked for 24hrs.

Fifth visit, airlock and high limit tripped.

The total bill included the 5 visits at £65 a pop.

They asked what I thought about it.

I said for one thing, I need to up my prices and two they didn't have a clue.

Big company round my way as well.
