Its f*****g ridiculous now. If i wanted to reduce costs i would have turned down the thermostat on the wall or switched heating off

Exactly and agree it's getting stupid now

Do bg have notes / how do they know it wasn't before they came/ then ?

I havent a clue mate nothings been made available to me. I just hope the deposit protection scheme are intelligent and clued up enough not to get taken in by the bullshit. Whatever happens though i would like to thank you immensely for your advice
 
Good luck
 
Thats awful, the good news is that any alterations away from manufacturers specs will make the boiler run less efficient and hence use more gas... lol hopefully even a lay judge could work that out.
 
As a non gas qualified plumber, I wouldn't know what exactly would happen to the boiler if those screws were tampered with. Therefore for the benefit of a judge, I think it would be essential that a well qualified gas engineer did a letter to explain what Shaun and others have said - re adjusting the screws not being a fuel saving ploy, to nonsense the allegations.
Also if the OP has an unblemished record as a tenant, etc, then all proof of that should be used.

Think of pump pressure point (oil burners) same deal

Thanks Shaun. I wasn't sure, but sort of knew the gas valves were sometimes adjusted there for flow rates or whatever it does. Some have a factory seal paint over the screws I think I recall?
Surely tampering with the screws by a novice could be dangerous

Some do and some don't

Yes and no won't effect the boiler much but would realise gas into the room (hence the mastic I think)

Just a test point for burner pressure and inlet (incoming pressure)
 
They look like test points to connect your pressure meter, the actual adjustments would be done at other points. Typical point to connect to when servicing, rather than adjustment. Almost un-believable a non gas person would use these to make fuel saving adjustments. As mentioned i have encountered these that have fallen apart in my hands and it is a butt wrenching moment to resolve as a pro. I would not have thought of using silicon though, lol

I have an ideal vogue max S18 boiler and I’m considering fitting auto balancing TRVs, my question relates to the boilers pump. I see a boiler pump menu for either 70% or 100%, so, is the pump set at either one of two fixed speed percentages or does the pump actually vary speed, (modulate)...

Recently had a Viessmann Vitodens combi boiler installed, quite often when the adjacent cold mixer tap is opened the boiler starts for a few seconds! Can anyone tell me what is causing this? And how to cure?

Hello, I am seeking some advice, I have a POTTERTON PROMAX 28 COMBI Boiler and I noticed yesterday that the water around the house is no longer warming up. The heat exchanger has been changed 6 months ago, so I do not believe it is that. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be? Thanks
