LEEDS PLUMBER - COMBI BOILER INSTALLATION - BAXI 830 

You did what the client requested in a safe and professional manner - good on you sir, excellent video!

Good honest gas/heating installation work, going the extra mile on a Saturday.

Good on you Allen its refreshing that your showing real world jobbing work .yes its nice to see polished pipework and perfect bending etc but its not always possible due to time restraints and having to keep the rest of your customer base content its all a compromise usually. just how much time you can spend on the job depends on the price you submit and the expectations of the customer .love the videos beats tv hands down

This is an excellent video Allen.And as you rightly say it is a real world installation/swap. And as you rightly say you can only deal with what is put in front of you for good or for bad. So long as the boiler installation is safe and the system is as clean as possible that is all that matters. Too many people in this industry are very critical when an installation is not an oil painting,and they are wrong. I wish my business got more work like that one. Keep up the good work Allen and I will see you again soon.

Allen really enjoyed that video! I’m starting my gas course soon and you have given me a great insight so thank you.

Allen, I just wanted to say thank you for doing these videos, they are very interesting but also teach me so much.

Love your videos as always. It's really nice of you to help trainees. I'm doing my gas training now and like watching your videos to get any tips. Great stuff Allen :)

Nice work. Real world installation. Good to take the time to fully flush the old part of the system. Thanks for taking the time to film. Keep up the good work. All the best Pete. 👍

As a plumber/gas engineer myself for the last 22 years your work is very neat and tidy. The press fit fittings look nice and have a nice finish. At least some of us still have some pride in our work. Great channel! Subscribed. 👍

A good honest job Allen real life 👌

Baxi 800's a nice range of boilers I've fitted a few. 3 have been with verticals. Great as per usual Allen, keep up the great tutorials. To anyone who's not gas safe registered, DON'T WORK ON GAS. 😁

well done al nice job mate all the best kev

Good video, I’ve fitted several of those, they are great boilers.

Excellent video Alan

You know when you leave the job it is safe and right Alan . good video

So amazing comprehensive videos

Bonding on the meter as well! Great video!

Another great watch thanks good job

Great video! It is nice to see what a gas engineer gets up to and what is in the boiler/how it works as it’s something rarely seen inside if your not a gas engineer.

Nice job Allen good off Danny to come help you on sat top effort lads a job well done in regards to pipe work you can on play with the cards your delt mate you did what you had to main priority is its gas safe and a warm home 👍

Top man Allen thanks for the video.

Agree about pipework can't always make a silk purse out of sows ear. We do the best we can with what we got to work with. Most important thing is its safe and it works

Top job as all ways 👍

Danny will be the 'second best' plumber in Leeds, after his time with you Allen 👍

if the client wanted to have all the pipe work pretty then they have to pay more. Most just want it as cheap as possible and don't care as long as it works. Allen could have spent another 3 hours making it look pretty but would the client want to pay... Great video really enjoy watching what you put out for us Allen.

Nice job mate 👍🏻 let's see that 103 in action in the next video

Hi mate. Can you do a video showing mains flushing etc. I just want to see if I'm doing it correctlg

hi allan regarding ptfe tape around olives i sometimes do the same i find that these days the olives are so hard that they don't bite into the copper pipe, much prefer copper olives.good vids

Hi, can you help . I have had a bexi 800 installed but the radiator light flashes while it's been turned down to minimum.

No criticisms here Alan, if I wanted my mechanic to replace my brake pads, I’d be pretty unhappy if he took it upon himself to replace the engine for no particular reason. You did a nice job of exactly what the customer asked you to do.

Your a pro, just like my mrs.

Did you have to change the arrow direction of the magnetic filter because the return comes from up please, me still training ??

Hi mate, I’ve had a new Baxi 800 installed a few days ago and I have a small issue with it in regards to the psi raising when the water is turned on. Water is around 50°c or less close to min level and so is the heating. Boiler starts flashing 125 with the pressure raised. Any suggestions?

Nice work Allen! Don’t worry about the haters.

Nice real world proper job done correctly with none of the bullshit. Well done as always Alan.

Job done 👍

Any reason why you didn’t clean the paint off the pipe first before using press or compression (Just enough for the joint / slightly more)

It's a boiler in a utility room of an old house. And it's oop North. Doesn't really matter what it looks like. Thanks Allen.

Do you fit many gas cookers aswell mate ?? If you do could you put a video of that up mate please ? Cheers

How are you supposed to find that flue seal fault. Is it checked during a service?

As usual great video mate.Just a question regarding the combustion on low rate.The analyser was 0.0000 ,is that normal? Keep up the good work 👍

Always good videos but cleaning the paint off old pipework is a must for me before connecting anything.

Good job mate, most customers want hot warter and heat not nice new pipe work. Lee

Hi Alan My father had installed the baxi 800 He is 86 and was shown how to use the wireless box but forgotten how to use it as I was not around could you help me please as I also have dyscalculia can’t do figures so need to see The order in which you do it do you have a video that is step-by-step for this particular boiler thank you so much

I take it, if you're getting a new boiler, and they don't do a flush they are not doing there job right? What if the system is clean anyway?

Is there a way to replace the sacraficial anode in a Baxi 836?

Great video great install as always. Shame you have to explain yourself at the end tbh you’ll never please everyone but most of us live in the real world.

Great video, as usual. When using press fit fittings to existing pipe work would you clean off old paint or will the press fit be ok without removing the paint?

There's no problem with that job" as we all know in the real world we just got to go with what's there and do the installation to regs. Always enjoy your videos " especially with the two trainee's.

9:10 what is that canister for? automatic venting?

you said you only went to quote on a new boiler... so why you ripping the old one off the wall?

8:40 hope that was a meatball marinara in the background 😂

The chemicals you are flushing down the drain are they dangerous once they enter the water system?

Hi Allen, excellent tutorial, do you do installations within the Leeds vicinity?, I’m thinking of upgrading mine so it will be a straight swap like the one in your video,mi live within a 15 mile radius of Leeds, Thanks Mick.

I see you've still got Fred WITH YOU

How much normally for a labour fee to change the boiler.. many thanks

Is the any permanent code or model no in the boiler?

Hi Allen, Excellent video, would you recommend the Baxi830 is it possible to give a rough idea on a fittted price? if not the Baxi do you favour any other model?

Hi allen what does an expansion vessel do in a system iv seen them on hot water cylinders to always wondered what there for

Hi Allen, i have a baxi duo-tec, howeber it takes forever to heat water, it's around 3 years old, and is serviced annually, is it worth replacing it with a baxi 800 or an ideal logic c30? Or is there a possible reason for this? My mum has an ideal logic and her hot water gets much hotter and gets hot quicker, any ideas?

when you have got no hot water then it is just a case of getting it in asap. when situation/weather is better then if they want it pretty then you can always come back

cross bonding at the meter?

Top job Allen, as always. I have the baxi 830, brilliant boilers. As an enthusiast i was very interested in my install and was very tempted to watch the engineers at work but i was very conscience that they might not like me hovering over them and kept out of their way. Allen how do engineer feel about customers watching them work? I dont suppose you can do a vid on that?

Hi It would be great full anyone tell me clearly how do I know baxi 800 or 830 without using serial no. sticker.

Would you not clean the pipes on the filter (getting the paint off)

Allen do you know what the difference is between the Baxi range and the Potterton range. I've seen a Potterton 800, looks exactly like the Baxi 800 you've installed. Was wondering if the insides were the same or if it was inferior...

Would you travel to Bolton for work?

Great informative vid as always Allen thanks. You can tell you really know what your're doing and have the customer's interests at heart. Do you think these boilers would be alright for underfloor heating in a small house?

hi allen, do baxi not recommend a shock arrestor on cwm? cheers

I’ve seen the nova press 103 , can you use the 102 jaws on the 103 ?

If only all guys are as through as you having no end hassle with BG home plan engineers for my Baxi boiler keep getting e125 fault code we have totally flushed system I know it notsludge build up they just don’t fix it any ideas I can throw at them your videos are a bit addictive top guy

Your a lovely guy Allan and there is fuck all wrong with the pipe work btw smashing wee job 👍👍👍

Thanks for the video. Other than time it, how do u know your system had enough flushing without over doing it?

I'm going to be having an 830 installed and i thought the box right at the start had 830 on it. Is there much difference anyone between the 800 and the 830? Thanks

no power flush?

Surprised you didn’t remove the paint from the pipes before making your connections mate. Thought you might not get 100% seal or possible issues in the future.

Hot and cold flushes Allen, it’s the sign of your age. 😆

Why do you like press fit fittings ? Let by is 9mbar .

Hi Allen . I’m a new gas engineer, one think that we don’t learn at school is pricing . How much did you price for this job ?

👍👍👍

Baxi really should update the 800 , to make it a leader in the market , effectively the default go to, recommendations , all models variants 10 step modulation down to3.5kw , regardless of kw sizing. Hot water model only so those trying to not spend to much can disable the heating system completely if they want to such as in summer so low heating minimum temp can be disabled , or wish to use it in a hybrid environment with a air or ground source heat pump , and get rid of the analog old school look with smart display / interactive thermostat with weather comp and low pressure warnings

That expansion vessel would look better with a 3/4 female to 22mm compression connected on to it. A flexible hose with PTFE on the male thread????. Must have originally been installed by a DIY

Did the subway come with the boiler?

About 20 years ago a Plumber did some work for me. He said that he was working on a system to remove sludge using magnets. It was Mr Adey.

Let by and stabilisation. Of course he did 😂😂

That’s amazing fully booked for weeks! Has RU-vid helped you get jobs?

Why do you magna cleanse whats different to a powerflush?

How much is it in pounds?

Danny Pop ya collar

Allen, how are you?
