worried sick over betacom

I'm sure things will be fine mate, you have taken safety measures and the client has turned it off so try and take a deep breath and relax.

Yes got a callout once to co alarm in an alcoholics house. He had about 15 people on the living room all smoking whcih was setting it off.

Yuck, you'd have needed a hacksaw to cut through the smoke :lol:

Think most co detectors give a constant alarm at 150ppm or 300ppm nowerdays?

The new Vaillants give off a smell for a while when they're new. But I worry like this too, had many sleepless nights worrying about things like this that usually turn out to be nothing.

checked the flue and the condense and all ok.the smell today was not the same as Saturday I think sat was the newness of the boiler. it was gassey today - got the gas sniffer out and found weep on the valve under boiler - customer had piled big boxes into the cupboard knocking and disturbing the gas connection a nip and smell gone and worry over

Good to hear it all worked out well. Like others have, I have had sleepless nights.namely one crazy customer who texted phoned emailed, saying they had the emergency services out since I had fitted the boiler and to contact straight away. I went straight round and found the gas isolated by a tofu. Cut along story short after checking my work it transpires the new co alarm I fitted had correctly triggered an alarm but it was due to the wolly leaving their car running to heat it up in the inbuilt garage. Apparently been doing it for years but obviously minus the co detector. Darwin candidate right there.
