well we're at some silly videos we've
00:00:03.050 00:00:03.060 had some confession videos it's time for
00:00:05.900 00:00:05.910 a wind video Friday morning first job
00:00:09.919 00:00:09.929 book this afternoon is about one o'clock
00:00:11.810 00:00:11.820 so I'm sat twiddling my thumbs waiting
00:00:13.999 00:00:14.009 for a bathroom to be paneled out and
00:00:16.820 00:00:16.830 some flooring to be put down before I
00:00:18.769 00:00:18.779 can go and put the towel ladder on the
00:00:22.010 00:00:22.020 bog in and the bearson removing a
00:00:25.070 00:00:25.080 bathroom from the back of a property
00:00:26.450 00:00:26.460 difference of the bog property it's
00:00:27.950 00:00:27.960 quite a big job and boy at me I but
00:00:30.529 00:00:30.539 there's something that splashed up on my
00:00:31.999 00:00:32.009 boiler LCD display the it says contact
00:00:37.760 00:00:37.770 the Installer because the annual service
00:00:40.520 00:00:40.530 is due now this is about four years all
00:00:45.049 00:00:45.059 this boil it's an ideal logic plus 24
00:00:48.170 00:00:48.180 kilowatt condensing combi boiler and the
00:00:51.260 00:00:51.270 wife Skyler
00:00:52.900 00:00:52.910 that is wholly irrelevant because we
00:00:56.090 00:00:56.100 have the boiler serviced every single
00:00:58.490 00:00:58.500 year and that satisfies the minimum
00:01:01.069 00:01:01.079 requirements for the extended warranty
00:01:03.070 00:01:03.080 so if something goes wrong ideal will
00:01:06.109 00:01:06.119 send an engineer out within 24 hours and
00:01:09.260 00:01:09.270 they'll fix it free of charge because we
00:01:10.910 00:01:10.920 have it serviced annually now call me a
00:01:13.910 00:01:13.920 conspiracy theorist but I don't
00:01:17.330 00:01:17.340 understand why boiler manufacturers all
00:01:20.120 00:01:20.130 the way through from alferov back seat
00:01:22.550 00:01:22.560 all the way through to Worcester Bosch
00:01:24.580 00:01:24.590 don't ring up the customer to remind
00:01:28.340 00:01:28.350 them that an annual service is required
00:01:31.539 00:01:31.549 see the this is a PDF file that I've got
00:01:34.730 00:01:34.740 it random just pull this up this is a
00:01:36.710 00:01:36.720 back see and it says servicing the
00:01:39.380 00:01:39.390 boiler and all servicing for a reasoning
00:01:41.359 00:01:41.369 of safety and economy it is recommended
00:01:43.550 00:01:43.560 that the boiler is serviced annually
00:01:45.760 00:01:45.770 servicing must be performed by a
00:01:47.929 00:01:47.939 competent person nice to say gas safe
00:01:50.630 00:01:50.640 registered engineer now it doesn't say
00:01:54.260 00:01:54.270 anywhere on this document failure to
00:01:56.780 00:01:56.790 have it serviced invalidates the
00:01:58.609 00:01:58.619 extended warranty you consider that some
00:02:01.580 00:02:01.590 boiler manufacturers on certain models
00:02:03.590 00:02:03.600 will give you an up to a 10 year
00:02:05.480 00:02:05.490 extended warranty on parts weather and
00:02:08.900 00:02:08.910 breakdown but you've got to pay to have
00:02:12.110 00:02:12.120 it serve
00:02:13.229 00:02:13.239 and Newell a otherwise you might as well
00:02:15.539 00:02:15.549 blow your nose are white your bomb on
00:02:18.750 00:02:18.760 the extended warranty so what have you
00:02:22.050 00:02:22.060 ever a boiler installed you'll have a
00:02:23.699 00:02:23.709 benchmark certification commissioning
00:02:25.860 00:02:25.870 checklist it's usually at the back of
00:02:27.930 00:02:27.940 the book keep it with your passport keep
00:02:30.600 00:02:30.610 it with you whatever important documents
00:02:33.210 00:02:33.220 you've got and don't forget to write in
00:02:35.580 00:02:35.590 your diary annual service required
00:02:39.360 00:02:39.370 because if you forget and something goes
00:02:41.039 00:02:41.049 wrong with the boiler you're going to
00:02:43.199 00:02:43.209 end up paying through the nose there's a
00:02:45.390 00:02:45.400 00:02:47.580 00:02:47.590 checklist gas safe engineer will fill
00:02:50.280 00:02:50.290 all that in take the relevant boxes and
00:02:52.920 00:02:52.930 at the bottom there's a gas racing and
00:02:56.369 00:02:56.379 everything they'll make sure that
00:02:57.660 00:02:57.670 everything looks plenty links on YouTube
00:03:00.630 00:03:00.640 what is involved in the gas in a boiler
00:03:03.210 00:03:03.220 service check about I'm at put one in
00:03:05.069 00:03:05.079 the description box for you to peruse if
00:03:08.399 00:03:08.409 we could find one that is and underneath
00:03:10.800 00:03:10.810 that you'll find a service interval
00:03:12.869 00:03:12.879 record if you've got that filled in the
00:03:18.420 00:03:18.430 first years warranty is up and running
00:03:20.009 00:03:20.019 but you've got to remember to get a gas
00:03:23.009 00:03:23.019 safe engineer back in to fill in the
00:03:25.620 00:03:25.630 service interval record otherwise your
00:03:27.870 00:03:27.880 extended warranty is null and void
00:03:31.369 00:03:31.379 okay I'm not gasps if registered so if
00:03:35.069 00:03:35.079 it's a like-for-like replacement it's
00:03:36.839 00:03:36.849 not worth my while but if it boils being
00:03:39.030 00:03:39.040 moved or it's a system boiler being
00:03:41.939 00:03:41.949 converted to a combination boiler then I
00:03:45.180 00:03:45.190 have to get my friends in or gas if
00:03:47.640 00:03:47.650 registered to do the initial gas safety
00:03:50.069 00:03:50.079 wet buy and tightness test at the meter
00:03:52.920 00:03:52.930 cut the meter if I have to run on the
00:03:56.339 00:03:56.349 extended gas pipe worker alter it notch
00:03:58.979 00:03:58.989 the floorboards run the pilot work in
00:04:00.750 00:04:00.760 and leave the appropriate coupler
00:04:02.189 00:04:02.199 adjacent to it hang to take the old
00:04:04.530 00:04:04.540 boiler off the wall put the new one on
00:04:06.180 00:04:06.190 and all I can connect is the condensate
00:04:09.349 00:04:09.359 the floor the central heating the floor
00:04:13.710 00:04:13.720 for the hot tap water I can't touch that
00:04:17.250 00:04:17.260 one in the middle connect the cold water
00:04:20.339 00:04:20.349 going into the boiler and also the
00:04:23.130 00:04:23.140 heating returned and fit the filter I
00:04:25.260 00:04:25.270 can't even
00:04:26.760 00:04:26.770 the new flu on and connect set as soon
00:04:29.400 00:04:29.410 as all those connections are manned I've
00:04:30.960 00:04:30.970 got to get one of my colleagues out who
00:04:32.879 00:04:32.889 we set gasps if registered to reinstate
00:04:37.110 00:04:37.120 the gas service pipe work and do all the
00:04:40.559 00:04:40.569 checks on the boiler need to do to make
00:04:42.809 00:04:42.819 it safe legal and satisfy the basic
00:04:46.159 00:04:46.169 requirements of the manufacturer for the
00:04:49.499 00:04:49.509 warranty to be valid they'll connect the
00:04:51.809 00:04:51.819 flue they'll ask me what I flushed the
00:04:54.089 00:04:54.099 system with what inhibitor are really
00:04:56.400 00:04:56.410 used to it they will do all the minimum
00:04:58.620 00:04:58.630 requirements for the value of
00:04:59.969 00:04:59.979 manufacturers and the standard industry
00:05:02.010 00:05:02.020 requirements to make sure you're not
00:05:04.320 00:05:04.330 going to kill yourself so like I said
00:05:06.809 00:05:06.819 don't forget to how you boil it serviced
00:05:10.379 00:05:10.389 annually don't ring me up because the
00:05:12.480 00:05:12.490 box on the wall if something goes wrong
00:05:14.010 00:05:14.020 with the box on the wall well it's the
00:05:17.850 00:05:17.860 responsibility of the manufacturers
00:05:19.980 00:05:19.990 don't bug me to come and fix it
00:05:23.010 00:05:23.020 because I want me impressed this
00:05:24.719 00:05:24.729 particularly if you've not had it
00:05:26.040 00:05:26.050 serviced it's not my job to remind you
00:05:28.559 00:05:28.569 because they're the ideal range of
00:05:30.779 00:05:30.789 boilers particularly mid price Ohio ones
00:05:34.350 00:05:34.360 will actually tell you and remind you so
00:05:35.969 00:05:35.979 there's really no excuse so that's just
00:05:39.149 00:05:39.159 one little conspiracy theory over and
00:05:41.189 00:05:41.199 done whether it's currently half past
00:05:42.629 00:05:42.639 ten I've got another two and a half
00:05:44.550 00:05:44.560 hours to kill time I'm just waiting for
00:05:46.560 00:05:46.570 the guy to tell me the floors down and
00:05:48.420 00:05:48.430 the bathroom the panels are up and I
00:05:51.060 00:05:51.070 could also go out and do another couple
00:05:52.920 00:05:52.930 little non-essential a non-emergency
00:05:54.689 00:05:54.699 jobs a nagging but I think the meantime
00:05:56.550 00:05:56.560 when it comes to the grundle conspiracy
00:05:59.070 00:05:59.080 theories I think what got into heavy
00:06:00.959 00:06:00.969 Dyke call me a nut job
00:06:03.510 00:06:03.520 call me skeptical but considering Mark
00:06:08.189 00:06:08.199 Zuckerberg knows my inside leg
00:06:09.749 00:06:09.759 measurement a favorite flavor ice cream
00:06:12.529 00:06:12.539 google nor my internet viewing history
00:06:14.850 00:06:14.860 and I'm continually bombarded with
00:06:17.999 00:06:18.009 adverts for things that are overpriced
00:06:20.790 00:06:20.800 don't work and cost too much I really
00:06:23.700 00:06:23.710 think it's false economy not to have you
00:06:25.499 00:06:25.509 buy or service so do it folks it'll
00:06:28.230 00:06:28.240 it'll pay in the long run trust me I'm a
00:06:30.480 00:06:30.490 plumber now go wash your hands
