regarding the pressure relief valve pipework, it has to be copper all the way as per the building regs, as the article I quoted in the post link below states //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=64385&highlight= That aside, for the joint between copper & plastic, whether its done like...

I've had the same one for 2 years and is great, it is instant. The only thing that annoys me is that after you turn off the tap it is still going for a bit longer, so if it is installed in your kitchen the fan humming (not that noisy) may be annoying. I have the instant preheat setting to min so...

Great advise guys, thank you all.

Thanks HarrogateGas, do you mean the local council? The boiler is a condensing one and all was done according to installation instructions and has been working perfectly fine for 2 years and still does. Subsequently I was told by someone else that he's done the same and gas safety certificate...

Thanks for your reply, most appreciated. All sounds great. Already have a corgi eng. to do gas safety certificate. cheers

Just an update since the problem is now fixed. After more detailed inspection is turned out this boiler did not have a fan, so the noise must have been generated by the heat exchanger (getting too hot because of sluge build up in parts fo the loop) and since prior to that the boiler wasn't...

After moving to my new house I installed a new condensing combi boiler, it has been working perfectly for more than 2 years and is still great. But now I am selling the house and the buyer is asking for installation certificate. Do you know if corgy registered people can certify the...

@matt73 How did it go with the support beam, what did you use in the end, lintel or steel beam for the 5m span? I know they don't do lintels that long... cheers

...and the monologue continues... I have checked out the boiler and the 22mm outlet pipes are actually connected directly to 15mm pipes (through 22->15 adaptors). I was told that if a boiler is connected directly to 15mm pipes it will overheat and cause this wistling noise since the water...

@Bomber127 Crafty, yes , :lol: , but not in the pub business, just lined up a couple of academic questions, in fact, this is a dilemma quite a few pubs are facing and need to address the issues. It is not easy to move to different market segment, certanly not as profitable, I guess...

ok, a chain of pubs face this problem, underage and binge drinking, and the effects this is having on society, young people and the licencing trade. From your point of view, do landlords start introducing stringent measures in their pubs to ensure that underage drinkers are excluded, plus start...

Yes, I'm sure they'll have something like that :roll: , but what if I'm employed and not self-employed? There will be another trap for that case too... ... we can speculate for ages here... I think you are right, lets ask the professionals... thanks pickles

Hm, I didn't know what heat pump was, so I had to quickly check it out on howstuffworks, it seems a good idea, but I still cannot fully understand how to compare kW of electricity to kW of heat. This is heating engineer's job, or google check may do it too, but overall its an idea worth...

its me again, hoping that someone will join my monologue on this not so interesting subject, just a simple question, if the fan of a standard boiler is making noise and can be fixed and the boiler is 10-12yrs old, will the boiler itself, I mean the rest of the parts should be OK for another few...
