Hello,
After fixing my Glowworm Swiftflow 75E I decided to get some insurance including a service and safety check.
So I did some investigation on the Internet and went for a deal with my current provider’s policy.
During the service I briefly spoke to the engineer on the phone, who said the flue is too long and there's no terminal. I then had to go to a meeting so didn't speak again. The engineer explained nothing to my wife who was home at the time.
When I got home there was a big red danger sticker on the boiler and a gas installation warning notice. Also, the service check list has not been completed apart from additional information regarding the flue length.
The maximum flue length in the installation manual (which I left available for the engineer) is 2833mm; my measurement of the flue, being VERY generous on both the wall thicknesses is 2740mm. The boiler is in a cupboard next to the bathroom and extends straight through the bathroom and outside wall (no bends).
The boiler has been installed in the house for the 11 years I have been there, and probably another 4 judging from the model.
Is the Engineer correct? I accept there's no terminal guard, which is easy to remedy.
Thanks
