    heating question(s)

    Hi all, OK, firstly, the "plumber" obviously hasn't installed it correctly :roll: Secondly, what guarantees will you get when the RGI comes and puts his mark of zorro on the paperwork? He will more than likely just do a couple of checks and fill out your warranty and register the boiler...

    IDEAL Icos M8020 Trombone

    Hu all, A very interesting and controversial situation faced by both parties. Although I am an RGI, I agree with woody, the tenant cannot be just cut-off because a CP12 hasn't been done. As stated by another RGI one tenant got compensation for the coucil/landlords actions, not fair, but...
