thanks, i'll take a look

fair enough, with the vaillant it wasn't that i couldn't use it. However i didn't find it simple or clear to use. Also i have to think of some of the older generation too (for example) who may not be very confident using digital equipment.

Just had a look at the Siemens website, What about the - Siemens RDJ10RF this looks as if it would be easy for customers to use. Anyone use these?

i think i fitted the Honeywell CM920 last month, i pressume the difference is one is a 7 day programmer the other a 5 and 2? But either way i found this one pretty easy to set up and navigate through. I will have a look at the Siemans one now. Thanks

I fitted a Vaillant Ecotec at the weekend with the VRT 360 f (radio frequency Digistat). I found the whole interface very poor, too complicated, no burner on indicator, not labelled well. Does anyone else agree? What RF programmable room stats do you recommend?

Sure this must sound like a silly question to some of you guys, but it's not something i've dealt with before. Customer in South London - Says his skin feels hard after showering! And would like a water softener. So I've looked into them and explained the price he is looking at for one, and...

seems reasonable at £100 inc VAT - does it provide you with a long flexi cl earhose like some of the other condense pumps ive seen??

Has it got a Thermostatic Radiator Valave??

Thanks very much I will check, its valiant and the run is only about 4 meters, can't see that being too long. Yes, I was advised I will need waterproof lagging but i've never seen the stuff. So 1" 1/4 will need no lagging. Makes me happy if that is the case. While were on the subject...

I'm fitting a boiler on friday and have to run the condensate outside, under some decking and into a down pipe. What constitutes acceptable lagging? Is it correct if I up-size the pipe I wont need to use lagging? I think the fall I need is 40 mm per metre?? Thanks guys, appreciate any help.

Looked at this rather large warm air unit last night. Heating fires up runs for a few minutes then, the overheat stat trips out, and needs the manual reset button pushing, then will reignite. Looked online cant find much info. have no manual for the thing. I havn't looked at any warm units...

yeah im sure there will be some bad ones out there, but must be some good ones too. did you guys do your training with a large company or a sole trader?

and what do people think apprentices should be getting paid? when i was at college (finished 2 years ago) there wasd a huge difference in what some of the boys were earning.

dilemma is i can get a school leaver and wouldn't have to shell out too much money. i only actually need someone when i'm installing a heating system and it's double handed work. if for instance i get someone in there 20's i have to pay out more. on days where im not making that much money!!

hmmm, not to sure i would upgrade the insurance! as i'm a sole trader, ideally i'm looking to get in somebody over the summer holidays and see how it works for me. i did my apprentiship with a sole trader and realise it can be difficult for the employer. e.g apprentice making jobs take...

Does anyone know a website where lads put themselves up to be apprentice's?? I am in SW London and looking for one. Thanks!

fair enough question. i am actually a rookie RGI (3 weeks). that question i asked about ventilation, was because i had the corgi inspector coming round, not my tutor, i just felt like a twit asking. just wanted a recap as i didnt have any resources to hand and i havnt done much gas work since i...

i am since a couple of weeks ago. to be honest i was actually askin that question a few weeks ago, as i had a meeting with the corgi inspector. but as i hadnt done any gas work since i finished at college last summer i needed reminding.

Went to see a Vaillant turbomax VUW CB 282 boiler does nothing. no lights on control panel nothing on display screen 240v to pcb checked fuse was ok on pcb. im pressuming the pcb needs replacing however couldnt see any problems with, am i being silly????? THANK YOU!!

depends what area you live in?? google a few local firms and a few may have price guides up. firms vary between £20 and £120 per hour and dont forget to ask if your paying + VAT
