I wasn't ripping people off. I was simply doing my job of fitting solar. I know it sounds a bit nazi simply obeying orders, but at the time I needed a job and there it was. and when someone is paying you upwards of £1000 a week for changing hot water cylinders. Well U can live with it. I now...

Rather sadly I worked for Smart Energy. Not for long I might add. But long enough to do a fair few installs. Most people had them installed because they had some disposable income and wanted to feel like they were doing thier bit for the planet. A lot of people had them and big 4x4! PMSL. If you...

Well because I can get a flat panel system for less money than a tube one. I have evac tubes on my roof and they work just fine. I'm not sure if you'll ever see a return on the investment. But as someone said at least u can say that u're doing your bit.

Solar does work with a combi. Just have a look at the alpha website. http://www.alpha-boilers.com/index.asp?wpid=131 Althought this is only a drainback system and as such isn't really the best.[/url]

Solar is going to take off in the next few years. Want proof? Have a look in any trade mag. Every boiler company now has a solar component too. I have done in exsess of 200 solar installs. So can say that yes it does work and yes the sales team for one of the firms featured last night are...

£70 for 2 36x18 and a bucket of copper. Love it. At least there's a small upside to the huge leap in tube prices.

level the bath in place then knock off the plaster below top lip of bath. Set bath back to brickwork and squeeze a load of silicon between bath and bricks. Now replaster down to bath and tile. Also screw feet to the floor.

The new vaillant ecoTech pro is much nicer than the ecomax.

My farther-in-law works as purchase officer for a big london housing assosiation. When a Minimiser lands on his desk with a problem he signs a new boiler request. not nice design. I went to one that BG had serviced, using a flue gas analiser. It was full of Ali'oxide and blocked solid. Had also...

A new knob for a 10 yeaer old italian. (can I avoid a Michael Jackson joke?) I doubt it very much. On both counts. What a thriller.

I got a price for a customer for a vissemannnnnnnn and it was cheaper than the Vaillant.!!! but the new ecotech plus vaillant is very nice. Better than the WB stuff. Has a nice stainless HE where as WB is ali'. The vaillant HE looks almost identical to the new alpha one. Probly made in same...

They all leak if U push em onto imperial pipework.

It is easy to use. But if you have old pipework it'll leak like a leaky thing because the joints won't seal on imperial pipe.

I wonder how long hte pumps were spinning for??

Sonnenkraft solar cylinder is about £800 for a 300litre. But they are the dogs privates. Ceramic linned. which is nice.

Yep smashie smashie.

It seems to be a thing that one bad experience leaves people jaded. Just because there are a few rip off merchants around doesn't mean all RGI are! I do jobs for people that I know can't afford it and I charge them accordingly. Not that people who can afford it get ripped off by the way. Also...

Valliant do a condensate pump that's wired throught the boiler so if it fails the boiler stays off. Which is good.

Sounds like a partialy blocked pipe. System will work ok but will pump over. Most likely the pipe near the cold feed is blocked.

Well said Paul. I have the larger powerflush version. That sells them quite well. We also supply them at cost and fit them free of charge, Like it takes a minute when fitting a new boiler.
