Hi all,
Serviced a customers combi boiler this evening pretty straight forward, until checking op pressure! 16 mbar standing at boiler and 8.9 operating?!? Checked at meter, 17 standing and 10 operating?!?
Fired up the rings on the range on low flame, ran the hot tap and pulled two of the flames out!
Called it in and the guys turned up to swap the governor, checked the neighbours supply and same there, checked the other side and same again......tried across the road and the woman wouldn't let them in, shortly after the police were crawling over the house, raided ha entertaining!
still checking and half way up the street.....shutting meters off as they go! Going to come back in the morning and blow the main through???
Its been like it for a couple of years in this street apparently so the customer tells me, begs the question if anyone has had a boiler service at all and if so how could that be missed?!?!
I would stick some cards through the doors but its taters out there tonight and I would probably get lynched!!!
Has anybody else come across similar scenarios??
I feel bad that all these people are without heat for the night but at least it's getting sorted......some of the other houses were as low as 14mbar standing!!
