A day in the life of a gas engineer #28 

Thank you mate! Yeah they’re so stressful can’t stand them boilers lol

Except for the design for access to the parts locations in my opinion

very fragile mate!! ive been dreading the day i had to do 1!! over now lol

i watched a video and they said to remove as easier,did help free up space,what a shit design

Cheers mate, much appreciated with that!

haha i know mate,had no choice!! sense of achievment was unreal haha

30 min job when you’ve done a few 😂

Only messing, don’t think it’s possible

@@heatpump8566 😂

of course mate!! cheers for watching, some of my older videos have some bits in there but will do 1

nice 1,thanks for watching mate oh my god thats what i was worried about with removing the pcb but just the sense of relief was massive

Jesus Martin, the only repair on them boilers was a thermocouple and a pump. The old boys would’ve struggle with today boilers😂

Is that so. No fault codes in mar day young man. No flue gas analysers, just flame picture. What you regard as a service is nothing but a stick waving exercise and MOT Equivalent. We would fully strip, clean dismantle and repair. Modern day gas fitters are not fitters, but part fitters. No pipe slices, wet vacs, push fit so on. We don’t iron, lead, 28mm pipe being. Heavy cast boilers and cast rads. A real skilled trade then, now totally devalued by fast track courses and water heaters with a shelf life of 10 years. One of my last installations was a heating system with 2 inch iron branching to 1 and 3/4 inch. Hydraulic bending, hand threaded. Me and David spent 9 weeks and that was a 6 rad domestic system. We knew it would last and only have I changed a Trv since some 6 years ago. A job like that would brake half of you. An industry that was once so special. Destroyed !

@@dmheatingplumbing9805 it’s called progress pal. Same as dinosaurs they died out. No fault codes are needed on them old things. Take care bud.

Life expectancy of 10 years is progress is it. Your engineering mind is excellent. Baxi bbc Units I fitted in the 70s are still Gowan now and will for another 40 years

@@dmheatingplumbing9805 great business model, build something that you can sell 3 times in your life. Extinct like dinosaurs. We charge a fortune for slinging parts. Get up there boys.

theyre not always saveable, but i usually go where the bearings are mate,can take time
