Boiler Breakdowns… Jobbing about fixing Heating Systems
Boiler Breakdowns, Jobbing about fixing Heating Systems can be decent money for plumbers when you know what your doing so this week we thought we would show you a few heating breakdowns we have fixed this week and hopefully give you a few hints and tips just in case you get the same issues
First up we had a S plan system where multiple faults had occurred, both 2 ports had failed
For completely different reasons. They look straight forward enough but with tight access to one and the other been close to the floor it turned into a bit of a challenge. Also the electrical junction box is no where to be seen so how do you wire up a 2 port valve that you can’t get to the electrics…we will show you a handy little tip
Next up we have a valliant boiler with multiple faults that nearly caught us out, when the customer called us up they had poor hot water and THEN the heating just would not shut off…sounded like multiple faults however it is just ONE..see how we diagnosed and fixed that one
Thank you all again for your continued support
We have a NEW membership system on the channel now if you want to join it would be very much appreciated to help support and grow the channel 🫡👍

Obviously I'm gonna suggest something clips on top reason being if by any chance the clips fail which I very much doubt the brace is there for pipework to fall on always consider potential insurance claims ie your public liability. You can never trust a loss adjuster

    We use them as sparks on tin walls to mount socket boxes.i have also used them instead of noggins for sockets and switches on timber stud walls too. They can be a bit pricey at times,but if you can get some good deals on multi purchases they can be reasonably affordable.
