    intergas, bosch or neither?

    Another one for Intergas from me. A word of advice some suppliers are using up stock that they have bought in excess of demand, so check the serial number for month and year of manufacture (xxxxxx-(year)(year)(month)(month)xxxxxx, I.e. 123456-1311c12345 would have manufactured in November 2013)...

    Weather Compensation and Outdoor Temperatures

    A £17 external temperature using 'standard numpty controls' will pay for itself much sooner than £175. :wink: James.

    Weather Compensation and Outdoor Temperatures

    1) How much are said controllers to supply and install? 2) Do you only fit them on certain sized properties? James.

    Basin waste seal aaarrrggghhh!!!

    - Firstly clean basin and waste outlet thoroughly and make sure it's dry. - Check that outlet sits flush with top seal (above basin), if not, remove top seal (very often I do not use this seal). - Liberally apply silicone around inside edge of waste outlet (I use Dow Corning 785 sanitary...

    Hot water running low

    My bad. Feeding the young un, I didn't read it properly. To the OP, are you sure it's the flow rate that's a problem and not pressure? Try to run bath hot tap(s), kitchen hot tap and basin tap(s). Check flow rates are still adequate. James.

    Combi Boiler confused

    I love it when folk tell me that they want a combination boiler and to keep the DHW cylinder. But they don't want a condensing boiler. :roll: James.

    Hot water running low

    Hi hoss6800 welcome to the forum. Correct me if I'm wrong but that looks like you have moved into a new build property? I usually advise my customers to set the programmer for hot water to 'ON'. This allows the cylinder to run as a combi but allows a greater volume of hot water. The boiler will...

    Support your local registered gas engineer

    True mate. But I suppose its a bit like a customer being to go to our boiler supplier for them to get the same product cheaper than we can. On the other hand we are trying to cut out the middle man. James.

    Problem with new Intergas boiler install. HRE 18 OV

    Don't bother with a WB, over-rated and full of plastic pin-holing carp. I wonder why? He's made his money and done one. A good indicator that he could have messed up. Is he on the Intergas Platinum Installers list (check Intergas UK website)? Ding dong, another sign of a poor...

    Support your local registered gas engineer

    Don't make me laugh, I've been to jobs where manufacturers own engineers couldn't correctly diagnose faults. One particular example was a fault on a Worcester 28Si (if I remember rightly). The heating would not circulate but hot water was fine. 3 different engineers went to the job (all from...

    Vokera Compact 29 Boiler

    It would be logical to think that this would be part of the estimate for the boiler replacement. This is how I would operate anyway, but then the job would be completed before the final invoice. Good to see they are coming back to finish off the job. James.

    Sticking a toilet to floor

    No of course silly me, I just advised it for a laugh. :roll: I always use the appropriate fixings as I don't install underfloor heating where a WC will be fitted. But I always silicone seal around the base. I've removed wash hand basins where rough ar**d plumbers have sat the basin on the...

    Sticking a toilet to floor

    Silicone seal around the base of the pan. Stops liquids from running under the pan. Also easier to remove pan when required by running a Stanley knife around the base breaking the seal. James.

    Combi Boiler

    Intergas do not use plate heat exchangers or diverter valves. Find a platinum installer (look on the Intergas UK website) and they should be able to offer an extra 3 years warranty on parts. James.
