    Is it legal for a gas safe engineer to use non qualified help?

    It all depends what is on the death certificate. If it shows a domestic animal they have to be buried in the pet cemetery. If a table they have to be up cycled, a plant they have to be composted and a zoo animal they have to be fed to the lions unless it is a lion then a crocodile can have them..

    Is it legal for a gas safe engineer to use non qualified help?

    As I rushed it a bit as I was very busy, I have changed it for those having a problem reading it. A guesstimate of supply and fit a Vaillant Eco Pro 28kw and the stated pipework through 2 walls mostly a straightish line along the ceilings. The original was about an inch pipe from the meter and...

    Is it legal for a gas safe engineer to use non qualified help?

    Yes, he was doing that as well. ################## No, it won't last for ever; and if you don't have it maintained... it will last considerably less time! ################## My 30+ year old boiler was not maintained very well and this was the first major fault, so maybe I would have got...

    Is it legal for a gas safe engineer to use non qualified help?

    I wasn't sure if you had to pass a practical test of competence in soldering the pipes before being let loose on the gas pipes in someones house. And if you insist ;) A guesstimate of supply and fit a Vaillant Eco Pro 28kw and the stated pipework through 2 walls mostly a straightish line along...

    I think they start on animals and cadavers first.

    The receiver will have Live neutral and Earth, leave those alone and connect the NO and COM wire together if it is the same as the picture, if not, I need the model number. You should be able to get both wires in one connector for the test .WARNING! Turn off the mains to it first before working...

    Is it legal for a gas safe engineer to use non qualified help?

    We just had a new boiler, during the install I overheard the engineer taking to his helper and he said legally he should not really be helping him. The helper did the plumbing to the boiler and most of a 20 metre x 22 mm gas pipe. On the first day the helpers son flushed the rads.

    You could short the wires together in the receiver that switch on the heating to test it before buying a new thermostat.

    Vailent Sine 18 not igniting

    I had another engineer (25 years experience?) look at it, again no diagnostics. He tried to open the top cover like a door then didn't bother opening anything, so obviously does not know this type of boiler. He said all boilers are the same when I asked if he had worked on one before. No...

    I came across a manual and I wasn't even looking for it. There are bound to be more people looking for one at some point as I have seen some ask on here. http://acwilgar.co.uk/Boiler-Manual-PDF/Vaillant/VCW Sine 18 20-1 25-1 T3W.pdf I would like to know how old it is. The Serial number although...

    I just found these figures for when they were new, so I think my hot water bill must be a lot higher than it could be now and if I use it for hot water if repaired. I will be going for electric instant hot water heaters (no tank). Boiler ID* 4704401 Fuel mains gas SAP 2009/2012 annual efficiency...

    Vailent Sine 18 not igniting

    The house dates back to the 1930's maybe earlier if that helps. I can see the larger pipe from the meter going under the floor but I can also see the last 2 metres of pipe to the boiler is 15mm and there is another metre at least going down to the floor although it has been covered by a...

    Vailent Sine 18 not igniting

    Thanks for the quick replies. Yes, I deliberately put a "young engineer" in as the boiler is probably older than him and I have been looking at finding an engineer that has experience with the Sine 18 boiler. I posted the job online and he replied the next day, the only taker so far but it has...

    Vailent Sine 18 not igniting

    I just had a young engineer have a very quick look at the boiler and he said he thinks it is the igniter and he won't be able to get the parts, I am not sure if he just didn't want the job or the hassle of looking. About 5 years ago I had a different problem (the flow switch) with a sililar...
