Mr Shaw… you horrible POS… you tried charging an old lady connected to oxygen tubes running around the house £6000 to repair her GW18si or £20000 for a new boiler. It’s now been fixed for £180 including all parts and labour, I hope you get hit by a bus you scumbag!

I was just trying to get an idea of what an apprentice expects as far as wage is concerned and it’s safe to say I will not be paying someone £30k a year to play with his phone all day and maybe learn a bit of plumbing, before I got to 30k I had to get my ACS qualifications…

During a full strip and clean boiler service it is way more important to clean between the heat exchanger pipes rather than making them shiny only at the top with the flue and condensate ways blocked. Make your own tool for that with a thin putty knife cut down to size…

That’s why is important to get a proper company to install your boiler. During a boiler replacement I don’t give customers a choice, the powerflush is included in the boiler replacement price, and that’s how the filter looks after 12 months of use, do it properly, lasts 4ever

Just had a customer who lowered his heating flow temperature to save energy as he read it somewhere. It turns out if the hot water is set to constant and you lower the heating to 55°C where the cylinder stat is set at 65°C the boiler will run 24/7… energy saving my arse…

12 years ago when I first did my ACS fireplaces were the biggest part on the book, nowadays they are barely mentioned, but it’s important to know that no fittings should be soldered under the fireplace as they could come apart with the heat, compression ok, end feed NOT
