Please can someone give us advice..stress levels approaching critical!
We are currently renovating our house and needed to replace the central heating system.
So after many quotes and deliberation we got plumber (plumber A) to install our central heating and boiler (a HUGE Gloworm xtramax HE)for us BUT we are on LPG and he had natural gas ticket only, but we arranged for a separate LPG plumber (plumber 2) to come round and commision the boiler (fine).
Everything went well rads in, boiler installed but not fired, up-bye bye plumber A (but not paid as yet).
Along comes plumber B and eventually gets the boiler going , but 2 hours after he's gone the boiler started to make very loud backfire type noise(quite scary if your stood near it!!) followed by what the boiler states as some kind of ignition prob,So we're on the blower to plumber B, he comes back, and thinks that it's a combustion issue and again eventually gets it going but after a few hours exactly the same thing happens again.
I'm at my wits end and worried that i'm about to pay out a huge amount of money for a boiler that isn't working as yet.
Any advice about any aspect of this would really be great.....
