Gas oil

[P J F PLUMBING]

Hi guys I'm really stuck. I priced for a job to replace a boiler running on gas oil. Red diesel I am replacing it with a SE warmflow floor standing combi to run on gas oil red diesel It's in a factory so it's excempt from being HE . Can I come off the back of the boiler and discharge at low level ??? Also do I need to drop a nozzle size or jiggle the pump pressure I'm really confused I've fitted HE boilers on 28 second but this is the hardest one I've tried to do many thanks in advance Pete

Well got a call today boilers not working. Ok what's the pressure on. 0 bar ok top it up and it will work. An hour later 0 bar So I said you must have a leak on a rad no we haven't ok I said is my boiler or any of my pipes leaking no so I said I've connected onto your system as stated. We're not paying till its fixed how do I sort this outs??? Not happy

Did you have a disclaimer in your paperwork regarding the existing system?

First of all you will have to fix it otherwise you wont get paid. There may have been a problem before and they thought a new boiler would have sorted it out. Fix the problem get your money and then send them the bill for the extra work.

I always have 'no guarantee can be given for existing pipework and fittings'. Just tell them it's not a problem to go back, BUT, if it's not related to the new boiler or new pipework then it's chargeable and any corrective works will be completed on full payment for the original works at an additional cost.

I always every single job do a disclaimer We called back today spent two hour explaining the situation then said full payment is due. We got payed there and then. And I've got the job to repipe the system from my new boiler and all new rads. So quite happy. Then got called to a b&b faulty heats lave the customer said I no it's knackered please just replace it awesome. !!!
