hi all does anyone know how installers join the scrappage scheme installer list tried the website but it doesnt seem to be working.

Hi I am a member of the Fed small Business from a previous business. I am now training to be a gas engineer, and am trying to decide whether to renew my membership. I am not planning to have any staff, so there are no employment issues! Has anyone heating/gas engineers found the FSB to be of...

Normally I do domestic boiler related work but doing a job on a Creche at the moment. There are 18 rads, 16 of them doubles, run by an RDB4 burner and a Firebird 250 if memory serves me right. The puzzling thing is there is only a normal domestic 3 head grunfoss circulating pump installed. I...

is there a pressurised cylinder out there that has a twin coil ,but also take a multi fuel stove ,anyone ever fit one like this?

I've been following a thread on whether the heating should be left on permanetly or left to come on when people are in etc.... My question is wear and tear on the boiler whether combi or system, Is it better for the boiler to cycle all day for little bits or is it better for the boiler to...

Hi chaps, got a bit of a problem. Boiler and heating system is starting to give up on me and today either the pump or boiler has started making what can only be described as 'droning' sound, so basically, i need someone who could quote on a new system, along with relocating one valve and the...

Hello, I have a wood buring stove that has an integrated heat exchanger and is linked to the hot water tank and the radiator in the bathroom. I understand that the way it works is that it heats the water in the tank until a particular temperature is reached and then a three way valve swaps the...

so what u think / good or bad for resistered plumbers/gas safe registered installers. AB

Anybody done any work for Warm Front?

anyone know can an earth wire be attached to the customer side of a gas meter is this legal ? as we are locked in a battle with a sparks over it , he thinks he has a good earth , but according to the gas company his earth is bad and not legal, any comments ?

With a government commitment to install smart gas and electrical meters into every British home before 2020 I believe there will be good work opportunities for Gas Safe registered installers. For someone with CCN1 and MET1 (or4) it is relatively easy to gain the necessary electrical...

are these classed as unvented cylinders? the installer I was going to use for changing my current combi is'nt registered for unvented sytems.

As the title says, whats the best and worst freebie you ever got no matter where it was from? mine has to be a 1gb memory stick from worcester bosch (best so far) and a pen from a funeral directors we did a job for, (well i could hardly use it to take notes when quoting infront of customers...
