Gas safe engy

What does that mean. "Gas Safe Engineer"?

My son-in-law's Dad is registered as 'gas safe' and, if I can get hold of him was going to ask him to check it out.

Best option as you can't really take the cover off unless you are qualified

The cover doesn't have to come off for the PRV. It's underneath

No but you've already removed the cover to get to the expansion vessel

 

[chris301up]

Fair enough. But I asked many, many times how to find the expansion vessel and no-came back with an answer. Even the guy I had round the other day had no idea where it was? I felt I had no option but just to take a look. Not difficult.

I would never attempt to mess with the gas though.

Could of told you where the vessel was but fault finding on a gas boiler you need to be gas safe

I would recommend not getting this 'guy' back again, ???
is your fire more efficient than your boiler??

By taking the case off... YOU HAVE!!!

Why are all you 'gas' people so secretive and operate in such a 'close knit' society? I haven't messed with the 'gas' itself and would NEVER do so. The casing as been removed on several occasions previously for plastering and decorating etc.. Whats the problem here?

If it's such a major issue then why didn't someone have the decency to tell me when I first asked for advice, particularly when trying to locate the expansion vessel?

To be registered as 'gas safe' do you have to abide by equivalent rules similar to the 'hippocratic oath' or enter into a secret 'fraternity' as members of the 'magic circle' do?
