So you want to put a whole unit in front of the boiler and use it for stoarge??? How would anyone get to it to repair and service? It would be a total nightmare unless you are willing to remove said unit every time access is needed. And then, you need to consider any ventilation requirements...

ps, no its not his responsibility to fix it for free

ein that case call the LL and dont worry about it.

So someone was there 3 months ago and serviced it. Now, 90 days later, you smell gas. After a 1/4 of a year, what makes you think is was him???? If you got a wheel changed on you car 3months ago, then got puncture 3 months later, wold it be the garage's fault? Pay for an engineer to...

tis is true!!!! must have been on my rambling mode. But he did say he put a bag over the prv and nothing came out, so it must be elsewhere. OP, top it up to 1bar, leave it on heating and watch the gauge. Tell us what it does after 5/10/20 mins.

Ok, When I said check the rads, I meant all the valves on both ends, and also the plugs at the top on the ends. SOmetimes they weep, and its doesnt take much to show on the pressure gauge. This will rule out the rads leaking. But do check with your handes and dont just look. Also, the...

Have you checked all rads( with your hands, have a feel) for any leaks, tops and bottom of them? Secondly, are you on the ground floor or is there someone below you. Assuming its not the rads, not the prv as you stated, then it could be a split heat exchanger. I leak is very difficult to...

ALso, when you turn the selector knob to reset it, i have found on a number of these that you need to hold it at the reset positio for anything up to a minute for it to actually reset. Try that too.

You can try closing the bypass to force the water around the heating circuit. When you are closing it (clockwise to close) count the number of turns it takes to do this,with the heating on! Wait for a couple 5 mins while observing the boiler. After 10mins, reopen the bypass as per the turns you...

How did you test the pump, it might be spinning but not pushing too well? On tip, is to remove the bleed cap on pump (but basin under it) and gently inset a screwdriver ir similar. A healthy pump should not stop and kick it back out at you. Does the the pipe to hot water get hot when only...

MMm.. boiler make maybe? what type of system ie closed/open etc

Sounds liek you might have gravity hot water and pumped ch, so the simpliest of systems. Either the pump is goosed - You changed and checked this The pump valves are closed - did you reopen these? Did yu put the pump on the right way, if not the non-retunr valve will be stopping flow Does...

Let's take a worcester for example. I changed a board on that last week. The mis were very clear that once installed, you must check the bp and high and low, and adjust the bp using the potenonmeters on the board. If the bp was wrong say, let's say too high, then that means there is too much...

ok, changing the PCB can and does change many parameters, including the burner pressure, which in turns affects the levels of co/co2 etc. What was once a safe boiler, is now a death trap. Unless you cant test for all these variables, and then act on them if they are wrong, you might as...

i can give you loads of addys were bgas have not taken on contracts becuase the current sys installed by an indy is installed wrong!!!. We cold go around in circles all day. Again, back to powerflushing, we cant make a customer get powerflush, either when they are on contract, or, when they...

When you changed the pcb, did you also check the BP, checked the combustion, and the FSD? if not, the next step will be to get you and your family a will written up!

Wait a sec, i never said they are perfect. When bgas install a boiler, the sales man will ask if they want a powerflush and recommend it, BUT, the customer doesnt need to take it. A lot dont, as they see the cost and bump it.Thats fine, but dont cry when your later told it needs one...

well its not, i never will be. No insurance company will fix inherent faults for free before taking them on contract and why should they? The t+cs state they sludge is not covered. As a goodwill, bgas will fix the first fault, then offer advice. If they advice falls on deaf ears and they...

£800? Powerflush with filter is £709inc vat So, break it down, Filter = £80 Fernox protector = £16 Pump Head = £50 ish? So £146 for 'Parts' That leaves £565, or £70 quid an hour. Dont forgot, this also includes all materials, so any pipes required when cutting out bloackages...

Also, Bgas over a lifetime guarantee with the flush. IE, if it ever comes back, they will reflush. Also, they will clear any blockages prior to flush, and 99% ofg the time replace the pump head once finshed. Will on my patch this is standard practice.
