hello yes again here we have two two
00:00:10.220 00:00:10.230 brand new condensing boilers one the
00:00:13.709 00:00:13.719 ideal logic range and the other one the
00:00:15.690 00:00:15.700 new violent Ecotec now I would select
00:00:17.970 00:00:17.980 these two boilers for any particular
00:00:19.770 00:00:19.780 reason
00:00:20.400 00:00:20.410 I just asked if I have access to two
00:00:22.859 00:00:22.869 brain-o ones I produced to make video
00:00:24.480 00:00:24.490 however condensing orders generally I've
00:00:29.339 00:00:29.349 nicknamed condensing boilers tiny tins
00:00:33.030 00:00:33.040 and there's a very good reason for that
00:00:34.620 00:00:34.630 and that's because of the remarkable
00:00:36.270 00:00:36.280 similarities between the characteristics
00:00:38.670 00:00:38.680 of a condensing boiler and the Dickens
00:00:41.220 00:00:41.230 character as in they tend to be very
00:00:44.729 00:00:44.739 poorly very sickly and they are testing
00:00:48.630 00:00:48.640 to leave this world prematurely
00:00:51.260 00:00:51.270 now condensing boilers again Sun in my
00:00:54.660 00:00:54.670 opinion but they are over engineered
00:00:57.619 00:00:57.629 overcomplicated overrated and overpriced
00:01:01.700 00:01:01.710 but legislation dick-suck dictates or as
00:01:05.520 00:01:05.530 dictated since 2005 that this is the
00:01:08.100 00:01:08.110 only type of appliance that we can
00:01:09.630 00:01:09.640 install as a replacement for for
00:01:12.359 00:01:12.369 existing heating appliances or boilers
00:01:14.990 00:01:15.000 so we are stuck with them however there
00:01:18.719 00:01:18.729 are a few critical factors that will
00:01:23.789 00:01:23.799 determine the longevity and lifespan of
00:01:26.520 00:01:26.530 your condensing boiler and probably the
00:01:29.640 00:01:29.650 most critical factor is the installation
00:01:32.010 00:01:32.020 process now there's fevers bantered
00:01:35.609 00:01:35.619 around whether they are strictly
00:01:37.649 00:01:37.659 accurate or not I don't know but from my
00:01:39.480 00:01:39.490 own experience I don't disbelieve them
00:01:41.340 00:01:41.350 for one minute because I'm back to work
00:01:42.929 00:01:42.939 in the industry that deals with this but
00:01:45.389 00:01:45.399 the figures that are abandoned around
00:01:46.620 00:01:46.630 are that approximately 80% of breakdown
00:01:50.850 00:01:50.860 calls within the boiler warranty period
00:01:53.819 00:01:53.829 are purely down to one source or factor
00:01:58.350 00:01:58.360 and that is poor cheap shoddy
00:02:02.690 00:02:02.700 installation practice so it is critical
00:02:06.120 00:02:06.130 that when you get your ball installed
00:02:07.590 00:02:07.600 you follow some very very basic but very
00:02:10.710 00:02:10.720 important guidelines
00:02:14.250 00:02:14.260 rule number one preferably find yourself
00:02:17.520 00:02:17.530 an install weather can speak and read
00:02:19.380 00:02:19.390 English because everything that you need
00:02:21.630 00:02:21.640 to know about saving your lovely 2,000
00:02:25.289 00:02:25.299 pound boiler is in the instructions and
00:02:28.619 00:02:28.629 if you simply follow those instructions
00:02:30.589 00:02:30.599 you shouldn't have any problems
00:02:32.819 00:02:32.829 whatsoever
00:02:34.910 00:02:34.920 next one your system now these boilers
00:02:38.970 00:02:38.980 are designed to work on beautiful well
00:02:42.599 00:02:42.609 insulated brand-new homes with brand new
00:02:45.569 00:02:45.579 heating systems with underfloor and what
00:02:47.670 00:02:47.680 all and all these fancy controls and
00:02:49.759 00:02:49.769 economical economy saving assistance
00:02:53.420 00:02:53.430 they're not really designed to become a
00:02:56.250 00:02:56.260 lot and taken out of the box
00:02:57.509 00:02:57.519 and plugged into a 25 year old heating
00:02:59.699 00:02:59.709 system in a hundred-year-old house in
00:03:02.819 00:03:02.829 the East End of London so therefore they
00:03:06.270 00:03:06.280 tend to struggle bit and sometimes there
00:03:08.729 00:03:08.739 can be a few compatibility issues
00:03:11.839 00:03:11.849 so before you fit your boiler onto your
00:03:16.319 00:03:16.329 old heating system or existing heating
00:03:18.390 00:03:18.400 system the next critical factor is water
00:03:21.890 00:03:21.900 cleanliness your heating system and
00:03:25.379 00:03:25.389 radiators have to be pristinely clean
00:03:28.080 00:03:28.090 now you're not always going to get the
00:03:29.699 00:03:29.709 pristinely clean but you can do your
00:03:32.610 00:03:32.620 best to my choice as clean as possible
00:03:35.059 00:03:35.069 this again is the Nemesis of all
00:03:38.449 00:03:38.459 condensing boilers irrespective of it
00:03:40.650 00:03:40.660 makes it where it comes from how much it
00:03:43.559 00:03:43.569 cost if you don't put it onto a clean
00:03:46.259 00:03:46.269 heating system I can guarantee you're
00:03:48.360 00:03:48.370 going to hemorrhage money and invalidate
00:03:51.390 00:03:51.400 your warranty so it's a really good idea
00:03:54.629 00:03:54.639 to make sure that you get a proper
00:03:56.309 00:03:56.319 installer you do not pay cheap cash in
00:04:00.960 00:04:00.970 the air merchants to whack your boiler
00:04:02.369 00:04:02.379 in collect it up and disappear also you
00:04:06.569 00:04:06.579 need to make sure that all the necessary
00:04:08.129 00:04:08.139 paperwork is filled in and sent off and
00:04:11.789 00:04:11.799 the registered warranty is delivered to
00:04:14.670 00:04:14.680 the manufacturer because when you ring
00:04:17.279 00:04:17.289 them up I won't come simple as that
00:04:20.399 00:04:20.409 again works out very very expensive one
00:04:24.839 00:04:24.849 last thing
00:04:26.160 00:04:26.170 and America I mention this because it's
00:04:28.390 00:04:28.400 purely from experience that I've
00:04:30.330 00:04:30.340 experienced over the last two three
00:04:32.410 00:04:32.420 years especially in London and there's
00:04:35.410 00:04:35.420 an awful lot of building refurbishment
00:04:36.790 00:04:36.800 going on in and around London especially
00:04:38.980 00:04:38.990 the closer you get to the center the
00:04:40.540 00:04:40.550 more works easily carried out builders
00:04:45.120 00:04:45.130 builders will not pay the going rates or
00:04:49.020 00:04:49.030 decent money to employ proper qualified
00:04:53.920 00:04:53.930 bona fide registered or licensed heating
00:04:57.640 00:04:57.650 engineers or boiler installation people
00:04:59.940 00:04:59.950 they will go for the cheapest that they
00:05:02.800 00:05:02.810 can get their hands on so we need at
00:05:06.640 00:05:06.650 your building I'm paying for the boiler
00:05:08.710 00:05:08.720 and so you've had something called a gas
00:05:10.720 00:05:10.730 safe notification certificate through
00:05:13.870 00:05:13.880 your post box bylaw when you fit a new
00:05:18.490 00:05:18.500 boiler now cooperating to building
00:05:20.800 00:05:20.810 regulations it's just the same as
00:05:22.420 00:05:22.430 building an extension on your home which
00:05:24.610 00:05:24.620 means you need planning permission when
00:05:27.610 00:05:27.620 a new boiler is installed if you get a
00:05:29.170 00:05:29.180 registered installer or engineer or
00:05:32.080 00:05:32.090 whatever here access to a database and a
00:05:35.830 00:05:35.840 computer system with gas safe online
00:05:38.440 00:05:38.450 services where he will notify and
00:05:41.710 00:05:41.720 certify the installation of your new
00:05:44.320 00:05:44.330 boiler and it has to be registered to
00:05:46.930 00:05:46.940 the license to be out of those out gases
00:05:49.810 00:05:49.820 will then notify your local authority
00:05:52.360 00:05:52.370 your local authority will then notify
00:05:54.730 00:05:54.740 gas safe that they came issue a
00:05:57.520 00:05:57.530 notification certificate this will then
00:06:01.030 00:06:01.040 be forwarded on to you directly the
00:06:03.159 00:06:03.169 consumer our owner via gas safe now you
00:06:07.210 00:06:07.220 want to think but so what big deal were
00:06:09.970 00:06:09.980 you ever tried selling a house that's
00:06:11.560 00:06:11.570 got an extension without penetration hmm
00:06:14.290 00:06:14.300 not easy and actually check to the
00:06:17.170 00:06:17.180 situation you could end up in if you put
00:06:19.690 00:06:19.700 a boiler in and it hasn't been notified
00:06:21.640 00:06:21.650 or registered with the local planning
00:06:24.640 00:06:24.650 authority and then your solicitor will
00:06:27.490 00:06:27.500 get a letter from your buyers list son
00:06:29.440 00:06:29.450 so can I see the notification system kit
00:06:32.100 00:06:32.110 and even I go one over custody and you
00:06:36.820 00:06:36.830 can't exchange contracts until that
00:06:38.409 00:06:38.419 doctor
00:06:39.060 00:06:39.070 has been soaps and found and delivered
00:06:41.600 00:06:41.610 now if you're the border feature two
00:06:43.560 00:06:43.570 years ago by someone who wasn't
00:06:45.810 00:06:45.820 registered or builder on these dodgy
00:06:48.450 00:06:48.460 plumbers you are not going to get that
00:06:51.060 00:06:51.070 certificate because no one in their
00:06:53.160 00:06:53.170 right mind like me is going to notify
00:06:55.080 00:06:55.090 someone else's work that I effectively
00:06:57.090 00:06:57.100 take responsibility for for the lifespan
00:06:58.770 00:06:58.780 of that installation so you can end up
00:07:01.590 00:07:01.600 in a right on pickle so quick roundup
00:07:05.480 00:07:05.490 condensing borders not exactly the most
00:07:08.730 00:07:08.740 robust of appliances ever built in the
00:07:10.860 00:07:10.870 gas industry take care you get into soap
00:07:13.200 00:07:13.210 make sure the heating systems as clean
00:07:15.660 00:07:15.670 as possible
00:07:16.380 00:07:16.390 oh I nearly forgot make sure you fit
00:07:20.010 00:07:20.020 some sort of system filter on it and
00:07:22.290 00:07:22.300 it's chemically treated which you're
00:07:24.240 00:07:24.250 licensed registered installer if he
00:07:26.010 00:07:26.020 sends a paper work off or have to do to
00:07:28.530 00:07:28.540 get it registered last but not least
00:07:32.040 00:07:32.050 make sure other people have installing
00:07:34.050 00:07:34.060 the border art go safe registered and be
00:07:36.000 00:07:36.010 make sure that you get the necessary
00:07:38.010 00:07:38.020 planning documentation I either
00:07:40.410 00:07:40.420 notifications difficut through the post
00:07:42.570 00:07:42.580 from guests safe if you've had an
00:07:44.970 00:07:44.980 installation carried out and you don't
00:07:46.800 00:07:46.810 know it needs to be notified on not very
00:07:50.250 00:07:50.260 very easy you can contact that safe give
00:07:53.250 00:07:53.260 them a ring on their website address or
00:07:54.840 00:07:54.850 phone numbers on the website and if
00:07:57.090 00:07:57.100 you're given your details in your
00:07:58.230 00:07:58.240 dressing postcode they will tell you if
00:07:59.820 00:07:59.830 any notifications have been taken place
00:08:01.290 00:08:01.300 or being issued for that property in the
00:08:04.560 00:08:04.570 last four or five years very very easy
00:08:06.600 00:08:06.610 so there you go new borders condensing
00:08:09.450 00:08:09.460 boilers tiny teams look after them or
00:08:13.320 00:08:13.330 it's not working expensive there you go
