need for zoneing!!!

[ADM360]

I now have a diffinative anwser!!!

looked at a job last week, new boiler, need room stat, recomend sealed system upgrade plus a few other small bits! all good.

bring up about recent regs regarding the requirment for zoneing of demestic properties, will double check if required for this job!! customer happy to wait for outcombe/ quote.

I ring my local Building control for the final answer on the requirment for zoneing,after all its there rule that we have to work to!! after a brief conversations and I stated that I thought that the new regs covered all properties even under 150m2, the building control officer said " you seam to know more me and that I would suggest you call some one from one of your trade assocsiations ie GSR":banghead:

so if building control don't know how and when we should be zoning existing heating system how do we???:banghead:

HONEYWELL ZONING KIT £550 keeping prices down will be hard

Lol £550
All it is is a bit extra pipe work and as said motorised valves and room stats

Where would you put the motorised calves!!!

 

[Gray0689]

Then don't bye it all you need is motorised valves and room stats as said
You don't need this zoning kit

 

[Gray0689]

[stevew451]

and two seperate flows so two mv,s two room stats wiring or more expensive RFs extra pipework which ever way you look at it the cost is extra to the customer

 

[Gray0689]

Yes but it's a good thing to have zoning I'm all for it
If you explain the benefits most customers will be happy

 

[stevew451]

over the long run yes it will save but you know most people only look at whats on the piece of paper with the pound sign in front of it and if your doing this for landlorded property dont think youll be getting the job

 

[dancinplumba]

if its under 150m2 will only need 1 zv and a t/stat. prog stat in living area turns boiler on and off imo

 

[Gray0689]

over the long run yes it will save but you know most people only look at whats on the piece of paper with the pound sign in front of it and if your doing this for landlorded property dont think youll be getting the job

And to be honest I wouldn't do it without
