Many thanks for all your advice & comments. Since my original posting I have now received a second quote, just two more to go :-) The two I've had were from larger firms, who both said they could start in about two weeks time. The two who haven't replied were very small firms who said...

I've recently approached four local installer's regarding a new boiler to replace my old floor standing Baxi. All have carried out surveys, and said that they were interested in doing the work. After waiting for two weeks, I've only had one reply. Should I chase them up, or am I being...

Many thanks Powell30 for your reply. AFAIK the Baxi 801 OF isn't on the list of boilers with asbestos problems. Yesterday I visited my local PlumbCentre and they also confirmed that the spare parts are still available. My existing boiler is in the middle of the house, which is...

I forgot to mention that the actual voltage generated by the thermocouple is very low. Therefore to get the necessary current to hold the gas valve on, the circuit resistance is also very low. Just for the record, I measured an open circuit voltage of 28 milli-volts, for the thermocouple...

I've also had this problem, after the gas has been turned of for a couple of weeks. The obvious cause is the thermocouple, although there could be several other possible causes, which have already been mentioned. After this had happened to me several times, I checked the old thermocouples...

I have a Baxi 801 OF, heat only floor standing boiler. It's now 27 years old, and is in need of refurbishment or a complete replacement. How easy will it be for a gas engineer to get replacement parts, such as the burner, seals and ignition system. I've noticed that some internet sites...
