Read it in MI's. Think it was HRM and Heating World to name 2.

You can't site a floor standing oil boiler upstairs or in a bathroom.

You should hardly need the tech helpline at your level and the warranty wouldn't cover the OP's fault. The differences at production are probably measured in single £'s. All Giannoni type boilers are only fit for new systems.

You should replace everything, cylinder, immersion, cable the lot. It's in a sorry state. That may not be desirable or affordable but to me your idea is a bit like trying to recover the ship's biscuit off the Cutty Sark.

Dan, can you point out the £400+ worth of equipment difference between that and what the OP has? Because I can't.

The product you have is WRAS approved, CE marked and conforms to all relevant standards. It makes no difference if it's cheap to buy. Any installation errors, if they're the cause, would create the same faults on a boiler at 3 times the price. Commissioning, compliance paperwork and customer...

Your installation is considered incomplete until all commissioning checks have been made and recorded on appropriate paperwork. This has been industry practice for decades now.

In case you were unaware, you're not obliged to call an engineer of dubious character. You are entitled to use one of sound character.

It takes any RGI minutes to register on Vaillant's scheme. To stay on it, just install their boilers no matter how poorly. They thrive on cr"p installs it works as follows. You choose their accredited installer who offers a long warranty so as to wipe his hands of faults and give them to the...

How does that work? If that's your perception of people who will never meet you or sell you anything, then forget trying to engage anyone for real. This is a free advice forum, no-one makes anything out of it. Hopefully you'll find someone to give you what you want FOC.

There are tens of thousands of gas engineers. Whatever excuse you choose to use, it's still illegal gas work unless you can prove competence. No-one can stop you but don't expect any advice.

Cheap to run = expensive to buy Cheap to buy = expensive to run Cheap to buy and run = do without.

Other than the user controls, the whole boiler is a gas product. Working on it is gas work.

Any more word on a cleaning kit for them VC?

I can't understand the point of electric boilers. Heating primary water takes longer than just heating air. With combustion fuels a central heat source is essential for obvious reasons. With electric, you can have it in any room , why waste time and energy heating primaries to send to rads or an...

Not me. Nearly all mine aren't combis. I won't be blamed for copper bends, easy to demonstrate. F76 and you get the usual 'Ok before you touched' bo******.

I share your reservations and have put them to Dan. For me, with IG, it's about not having to s*** myself at the thought of a thermal fuse popping or HE rippling the day after a service and fingers pointing my way.

I've never understood why some people in our trade get their c*** out at the suggestion of involvement from the motor industry. Look what happened to the idea of rubber hoses.

Unless you can get your mate from ATAG to re-write their MI's, you'll find what he is or is not ok with isn't worth the breath it's spoken in.

Your flue question was answered. You chose to ignore the advice. You're very quick at dissecting the installer. Just asking again, are you going to do the same for the rest of the supply chain? For example your merchant's profit will be for handling only (almost no work) The manufacturer will...
