    Rgi's using introducers

    Yes a bit, I have quite a lot of my own work but use this as a top up. I worked 20 years for bg but had enough at their last cull and thought I'd do it myself. Work is like money, it tends to come to those who already have too much so I see it as these sites do all my advertising and I get to...

    Expansion vessel checking

    It's not proof it's failed. There can easily be a glassful of water in the air side from condensation. Drain the pressure and leave the drain point open as you pump up the vessel. If you end up with 1bar of air in the vessel and 0 in the boiler then shut the drain and repressurise the system and...

    Rgi's using introducers

    Well the guarantee is actually provided by the trader who does the work same as it is with any other job so it would come back to you unless signed as a temporary repair. What I mean is the customer knows they have that bg back up for 12 months.

    Rgi's using introducers

    That's why I quite like working through local heroes, it's commission of each job and customer gets all your business details and they get a 12 month guarantee with bg that can't disappear. There just isn't enough work there yet. They don't do reviews at all. I've found Facebook totally useless...

    Worcester Greenstar 24RI Condenser Boiler

    The Draytons can send the same 70ish volts back which is enough to turn the boiler on. On the newer ri's the surpressor is built into the pcb, Worcester tech should be able to tell you from the serial number. I have occasionally had the Drayton valves induce 240v from the hw off to the orange...

    British Gas DCP programmer - Clock setting

    It's got like a little lever at the bottom in the middle that sort of flicks it off. These things pretty much talk you through all the setting options when you press the centre menu button though.

    Not plumbing, but I am a plumber. Advice needed.

    14 year old daughter, 14 year old son, 86 year old granny or 40 year old cat lady, any one of them could accuse you of anything that's just life. I've only ever been accused once of stealing money by an oap but she phoned the office the next day when she remembered she hadn't been to the post...

    Hive install complicated by wired room stat

    Not sure I follow what you've done but the hive receiver fits straight onto the LP711 backplate I think with the same connections and you remove the thermostat wires from the boiler pcb and fit a link onto the board connections for the stat.

    British Gas DCP programmer - Clock setting

    Worcester 24i junior lpg

    The originals with the grey fascia are notoriously bad pcbs, the early greenstar versions usually water pressure or pcbs but either way get it properly looked at as pcb faults on the 24i junior can cause massive additional problems

    ok, so which boiler now?

    I go intergas, Worcester and baxi but that's because they are all within 20 miles of me more than anything else. I like Worcesters but they probably cost at least 30% more than they are worth.
