Possibly a silly question but my boiler is up for its first service and I also have an unvented hot water system that’s well overdue for a service (about 2 1/2 years old). I would like to use the person who installed the boiler to service the boiler but looking on the gas safe register I see he is not certified for unvented systems.
I'm assuming it would be cheapest to get one person to do both services at the same time but unvented engineers are not as common as I thought - of the first two pages in the register nearest to me, only three are registered for unvented. This would mean that if the original installer serviced the boiler I’d need to get another engineer out for the unvented service.
Now my silly question. What is so special about an unvented installer - is it a legal requirement or should a competent gas safe installer be able to carry out a service on one (as opposed to actual installing one).
Thanks
