    Moving Gas meter. Alternatives

    Like I said above show me where it says it in any of the gas acts. BTW bailiffs don't attend for forced entries with BG or any utility company.

    which gas combi boiler. Vaillant 838 or 938 boiler and why? efficiency?

    It's that big plastic tube going through the boiler, reminds me too much of a keston, sends shivers down my spine!! A bit of forward think tbh, no divertor valve and only 1 heat exchanger, what's their customer service like?

    Moving Gas meter. Alternatives

    If you'd approached me as a customer North I would have no problem doing what you've asked after I'd explained some of what has been mentioned above, from what you've posted it seems a fairly straight forward job. Smart metres? Don't get me started on them!! Suffice to say I will NEVER have one...

    Tony they cannot get a warrant on the basis of simply to inspect the meter, if you disagree please show me in the relevant gas acts where they can.

    Bernard without seeming to be rude are you actually an installer? Have you seen the cost of the so called 'fan assisted' radiators. I've only ever fitted them in the likes of care homes etc., never in a domestic property and you also have to take into consideration the cost of running the fan...

    They cannot get a warrant for that, they will need proof and they will also need proof of an ID to switch your supply off. They cannot just switch your supply off because they think work has been done illegally.

    If a customer had come to me with this issue i would've explained some of what has been said above and i would have no issue moving the meter a short distance from where it is as long as the ECV stays in the same place. You can get long flexible supply pipe. Also to what someone else has said...

    Veissmann have been around for years:) still family owned as well. It's all about personal opinion, i've only been posting on the board a couple of days but i bet you've probably had people on here saying the likes of Ferrolli, Ariston, Saunier Duval, Chaffeteaux etc are all good boilers. Do a...

    which gas combi boiler. Vaillant 838 or 938 boiler and why? efficiency?

    Can't say i've had any issues to date again probably going back 3yrs. I totally agree with what you said further up the thread re Vaillant, my partner and i were asked to do a boiler change in a block of flats, they were taking out some old Hammworthys and putting in 8x100kw Ecotec's in a...

    which gas combi boiler. Vaillant 838 or 938 boiler and why? efficiency?

    I've fitted 2 of the floor standing combi's i posted above and probably 50+ of various wall mounted combi and system boilers. They're are a step ahead at the moment IMO, the system boiler if fitted with their cylinder you don't need a zone valve to be fitted, their design and forward thinking...

    which gas combi boiler. Vaillant 838 or 938 boiler and why? efficiency?

    I my opinion the best on the market at the moment. I would take any manufacturers efficiency claims with a pinch of salt. They're done under optimum conditions (VWo_O) and unless you've got UFH then any condensing boiler will not get anywhere near the claimed efficiency.

    If your set on a combi either a Worcester 440 or 550 or Veissmann Vitodens 222-F. If it was my place i'd be going for the Veissmann. Expect to add another £1k at least.

    @simond you sound like me, Luddites of the world unite!! Basically i've got a model 1 in a customers house which has started to corrode through the top access panel, i'll try and post a photo. Is it likely to be the condense tray? If so have you got one i could get dimensions of to get one...

    To be honest @Razor900 they're the best oil boilers i've seen, though i've never fitted one. @simond are you able to answer a pm re the issue i have?

    I did see that thanks, but the company are based in Wiltshire, those numbers are probably private and are Kent numbers.
