its a bit of sticking plaster isnt it and not a good one at that it seems to me. I mention this subject as theres a campaign going on about condition of rental properties and damp and mould appear to be the main issues.

on the basis that IR heats objects eg walls, wouldnt they only be effective for controlling damp/ mould caused by condensation on walls if theres was one heater pointing at each wall. I mean to say if you have one heater somewhere it cannot heat all four walls at once. ....maybe I'm missing...

there are infrared heating panels being produced nowadays that promise to stop damp and mould inside the house caused by condensation due to drying clothes on rads etc. I don't need one but am party to a discussion about their effectiveness. My experience of infrared heating is the minute you...

you're being offensive for no reason whatsoever in this thread - landlord comment etc, and anyone would think you made Valiant boilers yourself.

god what a nice guy you are!! what the matter with you?

whats bad installation? the boiler? or the existing pipework? none of this is my fault. If you pay going rate for an install you expect it to work. If my system is crap and the boiler wont work on it properly I expect them to tell me not just put it in. Info out there on valiant heat exchangers...

12 rads eco tec 415 not a combi (came with magniclean) gas safe installed - presume it was done properly but didnt stand over them watching paid full going rate for the install it didnt kettle straight away prob about 6 mths in. I had had these people back much earlier to fix a diverter valve...

google "Valiant heat exchanger blocking" for stuff about that issue. Why would I want to buy one if I am at risk from any of this happening?

what??? lol on what basis can you even say this?

sorry I am not a pro but we had a Valiant eco tec approx 4 yrs ago. Its never run right (keeps kettling) . Apparently the heat exchanger can block up more easily than others especially if fitted to an old system. I wouldnt have another for that reason. Just had a Worcester fitted to a rental...

dont know what realistically you would have expected me to do under the circumstances?? often you cant get someone to answer the phone let alone install a boiler in the middle of winter within a week....

Its Gloucester itself, its sorted now, a Worcs is going in tomorrow. If I'd had a positive response locally to my enquiry re. intergas this morning it might have been different. Trouble is I'm dealing with local people who I have to rely on and someone putting this thing in so quickly and...

back to ferrolli - whos buying these things? usually when you produce a crap product the market eventually catches up with you and you end up selling less and less...

fair enough didnt see that Intergas gave long warranties. If I could find an installer thats sold on them and can do this swap quickly then would go with them. Trouble is in middle of winter I'm in the installers hands as everyone is so busy and most of them woudnt be able to install anything...

it puts me off having a boiler thats not mainstream as the city where the house is located is hell to get a heating engineer out and a boiler fixed quickly. edit so I've just googled Intergas installers Gloucs and a firm comes up thats got a good reputation. I've phoned them and asked about...

Muggles couldnt agree more, I didnt put it in.. Dan, thought the Worcs boiler was decent, why not a Worcs and what would you advise?

somewhat predictable replies! looks like a Worcs 25i is going in Friday.:)

Hi all, just had main heat exchanger diagnosed as split on a Ferrolli He 26C combi boiler in a rental property. The boiler is nearly 5 yrs old and this the first time its gone significantly wrong - looks like the HE is £350 ish for part alone At 5 years old should I be binning this boiler and...

OP dont despair. We've just had a 3 yr old ferroli stop working and someone came out 45 mins from the time of my phone call and got it going at cost of £55. It had A01 code as well. Guy said something to do with time setting faulty. Tenant told me she had pressed reset button down and held it...

apparently "a timer fault" Also he topped up pressure. It was a bit low apparently but tenant knows all about that and keeps an eye on it. I think I will drop in and make sure theres no misunderstanding with what pressure it should run at. Apart from all that I'm just pleased its going again:)...
