flue gas analyser, worth having?

[Agile]

An FGA is pretty much the only way that you can identify a flue fault on a premix boiler.

I do have to say that I can usually adjust the mixture within useable service limits on many boilers without the FGA on a lot of boilers but I would always expect to check the setting at the first opportunity afterwards. The ignition sound is a very good clue that the mixture is not far out.

Yet again in a big city, an FGA is another piece of expensive equipment which atracts thieves and I only take one when I expect I may need it.

I cannot imagine how any RGI can do without one even if they are only installing boilers using premix.

For fault investigation they are essential for flue faults or where unqualified have been fiddling!

Would value opinions/views on whether an FGA is an essential for servicing work etc.
My main work is getting to be Landlord's Gas Safety checks with servicing.

You can`t service, now without one. muppet, how will you check the boiler`s performance, you can`t simply peek through the window, check for blue flame and hoover the heat exchanger these days, things have moved on, unlike you monkey Boy.,
