Great video Rob. The more I watch you the more I realise how little I know honestly I’ve been at this for over ten years servicing and repairing but seriously I’m just the tip of the flame excuse the pun. I was actually at one of these burners yesterday and it had a metal strap at the air intake numbered 1-8. The strap had rusted off but I managed to self tap it on at the right air setting. She wouldn’t fire because I’d set the electrodes too close but once I adjusted them she fired up no bother. Fan really easy to turn on it but it must be as old as you Rob say at least 30 years. Anyway great video and thanks again for helping me out the other week.
Fantastic video as always my pet hate are thermecons oil boilers or they just don’t like me lol Correct me if I’m wrong but I was under the impression we have to fit metallic tigerloops no plastic was told by Oftec good practice they expect us to follow good practice Probably just Oftec being Oftec let me know your thoughts please
Hi. Yes use a metal one mate as per oftec. The reason we used a plastic is for ease as the holes were in the same place and priority is to get the boiler going again. A metal one will be fitted and oil lines converted another day when less of a rush. Hope this helps. Have a good weekend!
Hi. Mate. You are correct. Need to be metal. As per my tiger loop vlog when you are up against it and you just want a customer warm again and you have no time to redo pipework then plastic is a great temp solution. As you see the pipework was not great so we will return when we can and correct the pipework and replace tiger loop for metal. This time of year getting people warm is priority. Thank you for the comment as always and keep warm! Rob
Hi guys I’m moving soon to witham Essex and I wanted you guys to service my oil boiler every year, I believe witham is to far out for you guys (gutted) but do you know anyone I can call as I’m having trouble getting someone I can trust as I know nothing about oil boilers and metal oil tanks, keep you the excellent work, many thanks Steve

Excellent video, can you confirm, I thought oftec stipulate all tiger loops to be of all metal construction, no glass or plastic?

@ thanks Rob for taking the time to respond & explain, much appreciated. Keep up the great work 👍
Thermecon + ecoflam = a match made in hell
Thanks for the comment. They can be trying sometimes!. Have a good weekend!
I agree never been a fan of ecoflames or monoflames but not as bad as the old selectos.

Hi.
Sorry but we dont . Thanks for the great comment. My advise is look for somebody that does oil only. They will be a bit sharper! Have a good week.
A fantastic family business
Thanks for a great comment as always mate , Have a good week. Rob
