You're right there mate. I've spent a bit of money training for the renewables revelution, having been told by someone in the know (who just happens to be a rep for a renewables company) that "it's all gonna kick off big style next year once the government tariffs kick in", and that I need to...

Just about to do the online test for the BG Service/Repair contract which is advertised on the Rigg Energy website. Was told by the Rigg employee I spoke to that the subcontractors make between £600-1000 a week. Have my suspicions, though, since it seems to be permanently advertised which leads...

Cheers, GasGuru, that was all I needed to hear. Thanks again.

Saw an advert in Installer magazine for gas/elec safety certificate engineer franchise with Gas-elec Group. All looks very good, as these things always do, estimated income of 50+k etc. Anyone actually taken the plunge or know anyone who has? How much is the initial investment? As a gas engineer...

Just pricing up for a central heating on a new build. 4 bedrooms, family bathroom, en suite wet room, downstairs cloakroom, underfloor heating downstairs, rads upstairs. Fitting a 210 litre unvented cylinder. As for boiler choices, I'm drawn mostly to a Remeha Avanta system boiler or a...

Looking for a programmer for a customer who is registered blind. She told me they are available as she's seen one (!), but I can't find any. Any ideas?

Thanks, ta!

Doing a quote for a customer for a new combi. Fitted a couple of Ideal Logic+'s as I like the 5 year warranty, however, not at all impressed by the DHW performance. Thinking of recommending a Remeha Avanta 28c, heard lots of good things about them and they're cheaper than a Potterton Heatmax! On...

Changed a 3 port valve on a Y Plan 2 days ago. Since then the boiler locks out after a couple of minutes when the central heating on. Checked the pump and it is running. Bled it as well but still no change. In CH/DHW mode the boiler doesn't lock out, although only the upstairs rads get hot...

Cheers. I think it's more of an issue with getting the panels signed off on the original drawings, or something, rather than having to apply for planning permission, since it's a new build. anyway, the crux of the matter seems to be he can't have them fitted as long as the internal roof space is...

Top man.

Cheers for the advice. Another issue is he's having a twin coil cylinder fitted even though he doesn't know when he'll be having the panels fitted (think he's got some issue with planning, which is why he isn't getting them fitted now), so obviously the cylinder isn't going to work to full...

Cheers Tony.

Only problem with that is that the roof will be boarded internally so won't be able to get to the pipes.

I'm working on a new build house at the moment, carrying out all the plumbing and heating work. The customer wants to fit solar panels after the rest of the house is done, and wants me to "put the pipework in place" in the roof before the internal roof space is boarded (the roof space will be 2...
