Boiler Ventilation

[bengasman]

Thanks for your reply, it was def 100cm x 100cm that is on the form. He then cancelled mums home care.

10,000 cm2 would be enough ventialtion for all the boilers in the street, most likely.

If it was 100mm x 100mm then the cupboard door has much more than this, it has a vent at the top and the bottom of that door, and the kitchen back door has a vent bigger than 100mm x 100mm, I def feel he was a mofo.

It sounds like your mom either had a clown who didn't have clue, or a cowboy that was quite willing to rip granny off.
Registered letter to MD of BG asking to clarify this might give the whole story a happy ending.
A phonecall to GSR monday morning, requesting an inspection, might also be a good idea.

This is so far off the mark that I would have to see it to believe it, no disrespect to you.

Sorry, my bad... by 100cm x 100cm I mean 100cm width by 100cm height, I should have said 100cm2 sorry.

But yeah, I feel he was a cowboy, sadly I wasn't there. But I will def be ringing BG in the morning to complain and have another engineer out.

Thanks again,

Keukpa

the most sensible option is to raise a complaint. that way the TSM gets involved and the muppet involved gets told what he did wrong.

That is 10,000 cm2

That is 10cm wide, 10 cm high.

Which one is it?

 

[keukpa]

LOL - I'm confusing my self now.....

Ok he wrote on the form "100cm x 100cm" so I am assuming that by that he means 100cm in width and 100cm in height, verbally to my mum he told her she needs a 1m2 ventilation on the back kitchen wall.

Thanks,

That is definitely a load of buffalo chips

seems far more likely he is confusing 100cm2 with whatever nonsense is in his head.

The british gas engineer is perfectly correct- if your mom has a 2000kw blr

And how likely is that?

Satnds a good chance, if the boiler is the size a small bungalow

not very likely, the one i have in my house is 28kw, you always get first class info on here but sometimes we "try" humour as well

Mountain and molehill spring to mind.
I expect your mum's boiler needs a vent to outside, the normal one's BG fit are 100cm². The poor sod you've sent to the firing squad obviously wrote the wrong unit on his paperwork. Even BG engineers are human

 

[keukpa]

As I said in a previous post....I'm totally new to this! heh

 

[keukpa]

Well she DEF has more than this currently, and the boiler was last serviced in '07 and they seemed happy.

The poor s** you've sent to the firing squad obviously wrote the wrong unit on his paperwork. Even BG engineers are human

Again a possibility, but my mum tells me that the second he walked in, he didn't even open the cupboard to look at the boiler he just said 'ventilation isn't up to standard' then proceeded to disable the boiler, then cancelled the home care, then 30 mins later someone from BG called saying apparently she needs a new boiler and would she like a quote?

I feel the firing squad is justly called for!

Cheers,

Keukpa

it has to be to outside or have a free air path to outside
