Installing central heating

[onlyfitidealboilers]

Hi guys,

We're looking to get central heating installed in our new place. A friend is a heating engineer and hasnt worked on private heating systems for a year or 2. He's mentioned about new building regs and zoning the installs of the system. Can anyone elaborate on this for me so I have a clear picture of what we need to do. He wont be commisioning the boiler obviously we'll be getting a certified engineer for that.

Thanks

Why cause your a tight **** an won't pay the going rate. Btw he is not a heating engineer is he, he is a jobber

Makes me laugh about these replies... If building regs are the law yet people choose if they want to conform to them or not - doesnt that make the whole thing pointless?

Building regulations are a bunch of nonsense often created by
the health and safety paranoid or via MPs in a decision
to tell us how we "should" be living.

It makes me laugh as this country ties itself up in rules and regulations
to the point where people are so confused about what is/isn't required
no one knows what is "right".

Common sense rules.

And you think it makes "common sense" to heat the bedrooms in a property when only living space/s is needed or vice versa?

I live in the whole house. How is penny pinching on heating rooms
progress. More is better. less is just that less.

The regs are there for a reason ... best practise and energy conservation
The same reason why beams have to be a certain size etc etc etc
Ignore at your peril as some boiler manu are using this as a get out of jail card on warranty issues

Personally I'm not interested in being energy efficient.

I like the american way. Bigger is better.

This country needs to rethink too much penny pinching.
Save this, save that.
We should be using more, going faster. Otherwise life is boring!
Use more plastic bags.

Don't make your self to look any more of a fool than you already do!
