Discuss Blowback damage/explosion risk in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net
I already told him I will pay for damages, so its not like I have no recourse. Problem is that landlord is refusing to come clean on the cost, so I don't know how much it is. According to him he already spent 500+vat and still waiting for more parts 4 months after the incident.You have no recourse really you bunged it up. BUT you do have the right to pay a fair price IF damage was caused. Get an invoice or send a solicitors letter to your LL
Would remove it, its obvious, but why call anyone if heater is disconnected from power and oil supply thus not operational. We still had some property inside the property.
Well he got an engineer to do it, so no surprise. Average Joe would not know how to connect this things don't you think.Well he’s fired it up so can’t be that much disconnected

I've found in my email from the landlord that both combustion unit and firing unit were damaged from the blowback and need replacement. Could any engineer comment on that? How likely is it?
Fair enough. Could you at least tell me if a blocked flue is something any engineer should notice straight away when servicing oil heater. Is it possible to service it and just after you finish and switch it on you would realize there is a blockage.Without inspecting the installation? For free? On an open internet forum?
No.

Make sens. Thanks. Do you know if this type of heaters require annual inspection on commercial property? Is it done only once new tenant moves in? Who is responsible for the service and should tenant be provided with a copy of certificate?See my post #6
Why would you look for something blocking it as the first port of call.
Or the LL switched it back on to check it still works, didn’t check for a blockage. And had to call someone in to fix the mess.But one persons definition of disconnected isn’t the same as another’s necessarily. It could’ve just been turned off at the wall and the incoming tenant never turned it on. Like I said above we are blind to this case we have no pics and don’t even know what make and model it is. OP has had lots of good suggestions but seems intent on proving the engineer is at fault when no one on here can say hand on heart he’s at fault. For all we know he went in took the obstruction out got the heater working and it’s just the LL being devious.
