Hello
After a lot of procrastinating I've decided to go down the Hep2o PEX route for our random house (basically a mix of rads fed by a one-pipe system and UFH fed by two segregated boilers).

Hello,
Can anybody tell me what the engineer is required to check in the process of doing an annual gas/boiler safety check?

I have a Zip water heater installed in a cupboard under the kitchen island. There is not normally any discharge into the Zip "font" in the worktop other than maybe a small amount of near-boiling water. The Zip guy accused us of chucking dregs down there, which I categorically deny. There is a...

Hello! I would like to send out annual gas safety check reminders to my customers and wondered if there is a better way than using an excel spreadsheet and manually sending emails. Any ideas welcome. Thank you
So I was doing a gas safety landlord check on a vaillant ecotec 835 and the meter was so far away from the flat that by the time I got there the boiler got to temp and would momentarily shut off and I couldn’t get a full reading for a gas rate. I tried numerous times. In the end I got the...
