Boiler Heat Exchanger busted

[Suzan]

Guess all plumbers can do a water quality check right?

Depends on definition on plumber.

If they're are well versed with heating systems and regularly maintaing them then yes. If they are just ones who repair leaks and change rads then they may not even know what you're asking. But if you've got your "gas dude" (don't remember reading relation so purely using only term I could remember you saying lol) then they should be able to do one for you.

 

[Suzan]

He's coming round in the next 10 minutes. He used to work for BG and did the original plumbing for this place so... I'll wag my finger and question lol

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Make sure he’s gas safe first

 

[Suzan]

He is dw...

 

[Suzan]

I've got a gas Safe cert the PP guy made me sign. Once the boiler is fixed I am hoping a new gas cert will be provided. Maybe by the Bosch engineer.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Dw?

 

[Mastermixlee]

Dw?

DW=Don't worry

What do you mean he made you sign? It's not going to change anything now but he cannot force you to sign anything.

 

[Riley]

Well if he was looking to cap it off then he would just call the emergency gas people I would think if she won’t sign

Getting combi + flush and new valves + removal of tank and cylinder. 2k. Mates rates . Just didn't think it was worth repairing...

What boiler?

 

[Suzan]

Glow worm? Something like that.

 

[Aire]

If Its mates rates make sure he registers the boiler and notifies gas safe. If your selling soon you'll need the relevant docs incase the buyers solicitor picks up on it.

 

[Suzan]

Yep my OH confirmed with him that we'll get the certs on the day and notifies gas Safe so all good.

 

[Suzan]

Thanks for everyone's help

 

[ShaunCorbs]

glow energy seems cheap

 

[Harvest Fields]

glad you saw sense.

 

[Suzan]

Thanks I think Harvest Fields...

Thanks I think Harvest Fields...

If the new boiler is done correctly. You will thank me in the end.

 

[Suzan]

Lol I already do dw

Well you can clearly see the heat ex has rippled so either the system is badly sludged up or your system pump is running slow/seized and the system was getting warm from gravity circulation. I wonder, did the installer actually wire the pump into the boiler to handle the overrun and that’s whats goosed the hex

Out of interest, have you got his warning notice. Love to read what it says

That equipitential bonding is illegal for a start its after a tee
