For example we charge £55 for a service and £84 for a repair! The repair is usually done the same day but the service when we can fit it in and usually intentionally at least a week later !
BRITISH GAS F2 BOILER MANUAL FULL
Some faults are caused by misadjustments which a FULL and diligent service would identify but you cannot assume that either the fault is one of those or that the newly qualified person doing the service would even identify that. That pretty easy.Ī "repair" needs an engineer who has significant skills and experience at identifying faults on boilers. I am not sure that you have understood the difference.Ī service is just that, a routine service, checking settings and cleaning things. Thanks for the response, I'm waiting on Ferroli to get back to me! I won't hold my breath tho! So I went with a local plumber and paid £2500 for the boiler, new rads everywhere and new piping (including removing old back boiler etc) They've done things like, change the clock, change a purple wire, cleaned the vent to see if that's the cause but other than that they haven't fixed or repaired anything.Īs for the job being cheap, I have no idea, I called british gas out to give me a quote and that was hilarious £4000 to change a boiler and new piping to it. It is the same problem, they have never actually repaired anything as they don't know what the problem is in order to repair it. So when I come home to have a shower or turn the heating on it won't until I restart the boiler then it will come on! As for the boiler building up heat, this is not the case as the boiler is not in use when I'm in bed so for 8 hours during the evening and 10 hours during the day (when I'm at work) it's not being used. yes all rads have the thermostaic valve on them. I think 50% of the budget boiler reliability problem is the position on the Darwin scale of the installer.Ĭlick to expand.Hi Simon, thanks for the reply. In other words, boilers fitted outside the manufacturer instructions, or valves being adjusted to take them outside their normal operating conditions, can give what appear to be intermittent random lockouts.įinally, when someone fits an Italian boiler I assume the whole job was cheap their budget end installer is far more likely to miss out vital components or make errors with wiring and system design.

Or similarly, you could have some TRV equipped radiators and some manual ones, if you were to shut the manual ones the same problem could occur. There was another post here just a few days ago where it later transpired that the owner had thermostatic rad valves fitted everywhere and no room thermostat - this could cause the boiler to gradually build up heat and then go to lockout. It is not reasonable to expect a new boiler if the warranty repairer can demonstrate that the current one is fixable, however it would seem they haven't done this to date. If it is the same problem that was reported inside the warranty period and you have proof that the original repair failed to fix it, then you could have a case under the Sale of Goods Act regarding a fit for purpose repair.
