Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help with my conundrum.
I had an electric, unvented hot water cylinder installed last year and the product was registered with the manufacturer. The installer had G3 qualification, which I've checked on Gas Safe register.
Apparently though because the boiler is electric it cannot be registered via Gas Safe by the installer and therefore my Local Authority are saying that even though the installer has all the right qualifications and is on a competent person scheme (Gas Safe, with G3) I still have to request retrospective planning permission and have a site visit by the council.
This sounds mad, as we're all supposed to be moving away from gas. Surely there should be a more efficient process than this.
