Have got a customer looking to replace a Range Powermax 155 (installed in new build property - 2000) with a Vaillant 37kw combi. It is going to be sited away from where the current unit is (cupboard in the middle of the house), and I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the DHW...

Are there 2? 1 for primary h/e & one for thermal store? Its just that I don't fancy lugging it out full of water - its heavy enough as it is! Ta

Sorry also meant to ask: When removing the old one, is it easy to drain the primary H/E and thermal store? Cheers

Had one today where the double glazing salesman had given the old dear a cast iron guarantee that the closeable, crappy little vents above her 2 week old double glazing were suitable for a 100,000 btu OF Kingfisher, instead of the 2 non-closeable window vents she used to have!

Hi all Got a customer who is very keen on a new HE Worcester Highflow to replace his old balanced flue Highflow. I've never installed one of these and Worcester have removed all the installation instructions from their website so I can't make an assessment of how tricky the installation...

A friend of mines had a faulty E6 (digital) meter which was measuring the gas wrong and the tenant in the property had some stupidly high gas bill. Might be worth calling the gas transporter...

Like Rob I struggle to differentiate between DFE and ILFE fires as I would never dream of installing a fire and am not interested in fixing them. However Ollski's tip is a handy one for when I do have to work on them - cheers. At the minute I'm contracting to a large utility company (who...

Yes, I've been considering Tracpipe. Maybe thats the best way to go. I ain't paying for it :wink:

Hi all, Have a tricky external gas run to do. 28mm pipe, with about 5 soil stacks to get around or go behind. Was wondering if any of the installers out there have any suggestions for such situations. If the 28mm pipe is clipped with closeable pipe clips then it will not get behind the soil...

Thanks guys

Hi all, have got a 1st floor flat, building is a larger style 2 up 2 down with a single room extension at the back done many years ago. Extension has an un-insulated thin flat roof and 3 external walls, and a sodding great draughty sash window. Room gets really cold in winter. We're doing...

I didnt hear about this case. Can't see how he / she managed to screw it up so badly if they had the MI on their laptop and a service kit incl. gaskets etc as they should have...

BG will cover it. Either of them or Heatteam would be fine. I'd probably go with Heatteam simply as their engineers will have more experience of their own boilers...

Cheers all Its a Biasi M.96 going in so should be plenty of room...

Has anyone got an MI for an Ideal Sprint II or know its dimensions? Need to know the height of the boiler due to new boiler going in on Monday. Lost my notes from when I visited the place! Cheers in advance

They're OK

think I saw some in BES. Bloody pricey though www.bes.co.uk

Look for a small silver flexible pipe on the underside of the boiler. Towards the left near where it meets the wall. It should have two black or blue plastic taps on either side of the flexi-hose, like washing machine isolation valves. If the hose has been removed then there may be a similar...

You'll get a few different opinions on this site about this, but heres my 2p worth: The formerly CORGI person who fitted it should have known that he should NOT have fitted & brought the boiler into operation without having current valid CORGI registration. In the eyes of the law he did wrong...

I do my spillage test on the boiler from the fire connection spigot. Spillage on the fire from the test point if Baxi. No-where on any MI for any back boiler I have seen does it mention a draught diverter...
