Importance of full strip and clean servicing.
At regular intervals a boiler really needs a full strip and clean service and gasket seals need to be replaced. Some boiler manufacturers recommend a certain minimum period as the seals need to be replaced when removing the boiler. The above image is a Vaillant on a 5 year interval. Some boilers like the viessmann range can be stripped and cleaned every year as the seals don't necessarily need to be replaced everytime the burner is removed.
Without taking the burner out at points the heat exchanger will get fouled to the point where operation is comprised.
Only point this out as some bigger national companies are pushing out servicing jobs on a discount, some less than £80, I can honestly say you won't get a thorough service from a these setups, check what you are getting before committing, look through your service history and your boiler manual to see what needs to be done at certain points, at least that way you know you will be getting value for money and actually be prolonging the boilers life!

Swamped with work in August?!? What is going on?
Another emergency one done this week, Viessmann on a four pipe setup, removing the need for zone valves so less to go wrong for the customer, weather compensation as standard, ntc sensor to unvented cylinder to provide quick and accurate heat times and modulation. All controlled via app, again as per standard, removing the need for room stat and programmer so again less things to go wrong, all with a standard warranty of 12 years through Viessmann! To get all these functions on some of the other boilers on the market would add a significant price to the bill. Replaced a 37Kw boiler with 18kw, which is more than ample to cover the heating load. Many boilers are oversized unnecessarily, reducing efficiency with on / off control methods. Even though this is a system boiler it meets the current "boiler plus" efficiency rating which normally is only relevant with combination boilers as it can be difficult to implement load or weather compensation control with a hot water tank setup.

Emergency boiler swap as boiler flue collector failed. Bit of a tight one to get in due to the position of the gas pipe and condensate, so had to find it in the wall and adjust. All good in the end!
7 year warranty on the alpha range, nice little boiler for the price, have less drama with these than the competitors equivalent.

The old beast had better days! Couldn't even turn the water off as this commercial property so had so go off existing pipework which was a pain. No soldering just bending and press fit today!

Sometimes it not obvious there's an issue until we start to dig deeper! Split in the back of a flue collector, found on a routine service, that's why it's so important to get these boilers checked out routinely

Baffled sometimes why strip and cleans are sometimes overcharged ?!? Literally takes me an extra 15 minutes to pull Burner out wash through heat exchanger and replace a seal. I don't even charge any extra labour on a service. I got an hour and normally this can be done within that time frame. All I charge is the additional gasket. This one is on a vailiant that needs to be done within a 5 year period. If you have never had a strip and clean you should question why. Forget this self cleaning burner rubbish from certain manufacturers, unless you are running at low temperatures, the heat exchanger will build up a layer of debris which will effect its efficiency over the course of time

Well Happy with this bit of kit from grundfos! Alpha go pump, fits 90% of boilers, uses an app to replicate old pump unit to give correct flow rates and control and is a hell of a lot cheaper sometimes than the manufactures listed spare, that to be fair is normally grundfos anyway with a name stamped on it 😂

Signing off another one today! Used some paneling to tidy up the existing wall as old flue was a natural draught square monster! Old boiler had been in there around 30 years plus, so big upgrade to low temperature heating with weather compensation control with remote monitoring for potential faults. 12 year warranty as per Viessmann standard.
Only brand I really trust!

Just finished installation of viessmann system boiler! Customer been waiting a long time for overhaul of old appliance, which had multiple boiler and system defects.
Full powerflush and removed header tank converted to sealed system, with priority hot water and weather comp app based control. Chinned the crappy hive stat off as now redundant.
System protection via filter and de aerotor to remove micro bubbles.
Outside temp tonight 10 degrees so system running at a flow temp of 42'C due to older rads still on system. Customer will update probably at a later stage to potentially run at even lower temperatures to improve running efficiency, however at the end of the day as long as we can get return temp below 50'C we will always be getting an energy uplift of around 2kw free energy from the boiler condensing.
12 year warranty via viessmann.
Been a struggle with a torn calf muscle still, but I love what I do! 😂

Just a quick message to wish all my customers a merry Christmas and a happy new year!
Really appreciate your custom and patience with the business throughout this year, it's been challenging but also rewarding to see the business grow the way it has.
Apologies if I can't get to anyone over the holiday period, unfortunately the works van went pop just before Christmas and is in the garage for major engine repairs which has left me vanless until the 7th of January!!!! Complete nightmare as it's made me very anxious that I am unable to help anyone at this critical time, just typical! Been a mad year and personally we are looking now into the new year with a change of luck, last few weeks as been like work on " hard mode"!
Once again thank you all and wish all of you a lovely festive break from the madness of life!
