Boiler Heat Exchanger busted

Should of got a ferroli fitted

Yeah I called them up and they registered it for me

This is what's messed up with this trade at the moment. A boiler in stalled by a bg engineer but not by so a cash install that wont be registered with building control not registered with Worcester phone them up 5 years later and they register it.

No other trade would have that but ours just gets screwed over.

Also guy who installed it wasn’t gas safe as they arnt qualified out of hours / do jobs on there own time but many do

That's what I mean.

Worcester should turn around and say hahaha tough boobies (I'm guessing the other words I'd use would be blocked ) you should of got it done properly now pay to get it repaired or replaced.

Also I bet it's not been serviced either and if it has by the looks of it not a proper one.

Think the lady said it hasn’t been touched in a while.

Fit a lot of these boilers at work. Have had terrible trouble with some of them airlocking.

They do exactly what you have described. My money would be on that.

Millsy 82 I guess you haven't got an actual say on the situation (i.e. what one would do) rather than the initial installation that I had no control over

 

[Suzan]

Hmm KingDoey it's kinda funny because I did think it was an airlock but that PP was convinced it's sludge. I find it interesting how if it is an airlock, bleeding rads doesn't solve the issue...

Air isn’t just In radiators

Because as said before bleeding rads won’t always clear an airlock. It all depends how the system is piped

You need to set do a combination of things like cycle the pump vent the heat exchanger etc. Gradually force the heat round the system one radiator at a time. It’s not always a ten minute job

 

[Suzan]

No... and I guess shifting it through the pipes is only possible with a full drain... Even near the hot water cylinder there's a tiny valve to release air and barely any came out...

 

[Suzan]

I was shifting from one rad to another until the PP guy came round and deemed the boiler ID and shut it down. Couldn't continue the rad shifting from that point... How would you vent from the heat exchanger?

Only a gassafe registered plumber could do that for you. Not you the user

 

[Suzan]

That PP was also saying in order to check for air near the hot water cylinder, he would have to cut through the pipe. I said to him "i'm guessing you'll solder the pipe back then..." he said "yeah definitely"...
