Here is a bona fide recommendation for emmatjackson`s other half

i needed a new boiler fitting (been without hot water and heating for 3 weeks) no fun when you got young children

tried to get someone but no one could do it for weeks
found out about steve
he came round next day,agreed a price and he came round on time and fitted my new boiler
recommended to all

Cracking job,,many thanks

Always good to know someone who's reliable.

good for you as gas engineers are hard to come by at the best of times.. but I hope he was/is corgi registered and you got your corgi gas saftey certificate from him stating that your boiler is working in perfect condition cos if he wasnt the warranty that you got on/with your boiler is 100% worthless and you may be hard pushed to get another gas engineer to come out and re-survey the work - if you were to it would cost in excess of £100.
and I am not sure if this falls into place this month or next month but all boilers fitted in 2005 must be condensing boilers - and thats the law as they are more economic - wont bore you with the details...
and I am not doubting anyones work here by any standards but I hear all to often of gas appiances being fit by non corgi people and the dangers can be literally catastrophic.
sorry if I sound like I am preaching or going on.

Condensing boilers, now that is a stitch up by the Government. A boiler that is 95% efficient 50% of the time

do explain mate ...curious to know why you think its a stitch up....

High efficiency condensing boilers convert more than 88% of their fuel into heat, compared to 78% for conventional types.

Never mind the percentages what about the cash gain?

depends on your bill just now mate - but they claim they can save you anything from £100 to £400 within 4 years - roughly the extra you would pay for a condensing boiler because condensing boilers are generally more expensive than conventional ones...and also if you have the correct central heating installed.
