Surely if he did come out on a warranty call he'd be making money and be able to say "told you so". Also if the install was safe, yet incorrect, the manufacturer would say it's not due to defective parts, so tough!

[/url] How to install central heating Part21. Part 21!!! You're trying to frighten me now. I shall watch all 21 videos as I am sad and enjoy that sort of thing - thank you

Also, forgot to say thanks for the ideas on running pipes and sizing rads. Done the sizing from several online calculators, just to check! I'm using the manifold idea and basically only need to run from the boiler to the center of the house - as you say. Its good that what you say hasn't made...

Thanks srhawksy, your last comment is interesting. Not sure how much I'm saving here if I'm paying for the gas run and engineer time while I hang the boiler under his supervision (covering himself). Suppose it's like supervising an apprentice.

I can see that a responsible installer would want all aspects of the system to be correct, professionalism showing ! However I would like to say I agree with Gas2Air it's my choice to think I can do it and live with an expensive under achieving system, so long as no-one else is blown up. i'd...

Breaking news..... I've found someone who's prepared to test and certify the boiler. His stipulation is that he runs all the gas pipework from meter to boiler, the boiler is connected to the wall and 'wet' side under his supervision, fired up and all the gas and flue checks are done by him...

So its more the whole system, rather than the legal safety stuff? A gas safe certification means that the heating system is adequate, not just 'legal'.

If only there was a garden! Sadly nowhere to put an oil tank. Heat pump is an interesting idea to get around the legalities, but not sure how well they are at the hot water bit. I'm thinking combi boiler - didn,t mention it, sorry.

I feel I'm definitely getting somewhere here thanks to your replies. I'm still confused as to if commissioning may be for the whole system rather than just the legal gas part.

Just thought, am I getting confused here? Is commissioning for the whole install or just the legal gas part? Can the two be separated? Maybe I'm thinking certified rather than commissioned ? Can the installation be certified safe in so far as it won't leak gas or carbon monoxide? I'm...

Thanks for your reply. So, really it's more that its not financially worth their interest as I've done the work myself and commissioning is down to being a paid favor? Be brutally honest to me!

I'm sorry to bring up this perennial topic but I'm unsure as to the outcomes from other attempts at this topic. I can (want to) install a central heating system. I can do all the (wet) plumbing to all the radiators, lift floorboards and cut joists ready to run gas pipes. I can also...
