Easiest Job ever.

What's the easiest job you've ever had? You know, the one where your thinking "this could be a pain" and when you get there, your like thank you god, lol.

Here's one from me, "No Hot Water".

It's got to be programmers, blown fuses, RCD trips, that sort of thing.

They come along every now and then, and generally if I've driven out to some ones house, I'll still make a charge as it's wasted time.

I've often even asked them on the phone, have you check x,y or Z!!

No gas in the meter is another one that comes up with landlords. They send me out and I tell the tenant to go down to the shops and put a fiver on their meter card!!

Had one this morning, TRV needs replacing, thought drain down, replace, add inhibitor refill, test.
Got there and it was just the top part of the TRV that had snapped where it meets the valve, it was a Drayton rt111 and I replaced 8 of those with chrome effect ones a couple of weeks ago and still had the old bits in my used bin.
In and out in about 90 seconds

Every job i "think" is going to be like that always manifests in this big mess. And it was always so and so's ex husband who did it. Or customer has tried to repair it themselves. I long for an easy job lol

No heat or hot water in the morning, mother in law staying and she always puts all the sockets off at night, so the spur is off, or as others have said no gas in Meter

 

[Roger Welton]

Fused spur off is always popular, also room stat turned down, and as mentioned before no gas on meter.

Got called out late one night to a disabled persons block of wardened flats.

Got there, was told no hot water. Ran hot tap. All ok. Told the tenant all was well. She then handed me the kettle and said 'no, this is broken'.

I was fuming at being called out so late but at least it wasn't a nasty job.

Roomstat set to low is a corker!!!

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

Nice jobs they are. Also if you get a call for a rad not working and it just needs venting. I used to get loads of these when I worked for housing associations.

My easiest fix is going to a new install and pressing the on button to fix a reported "dead boiler".

 

[spanners1967]

One customer had caught the ecv with a jacket or summit.... no gas..... they felt really stupid when it was just turned back on...

 

[Roger Welton]

Also like empty oil tanks,

'Oh but the sight tube is still full, we have been impresses with the efficiency of the boiler'

Pulls indicator valve on tank master

'Oh......'
