North West Gas Certificates

North West Gas Certificates

Hello my name is Anton Connor. I've been a property landlord for over 20 years, a plasterer for over 10 and have recently re trained as a gas engineer. My business is North West Gas Certificates Ltd and since becoming Gas Safe in 2020, You tube has been an absolute life saver. Between speaking with other more experienced engineers and watching the videos on You Tube, I've been able to successfully progress with my gas engineering business. This channel is dedicated to helping other newly trained gas engineers or people who are still training to become a gas safe engineer, as I was. Some videos are serious but some are just a bit of fun so please be kind. :)

    It states it will go into chimney sweep mode. However in the manufactures instructions and whenever I've been with a Vaillant service engineer, they always use the P.01 test mode to put it into high service mode. Therefore i have always done that as well...

    Were getting an E1 errors on this boiler. No drop in pressure though still at 2 bars? Generally if i reset the boiler it seems to start working, but then itll go again a day or so later

  • @northwestgascertificates
    @northwestgascertificates2 күн бұрын

    Check the pressure guage needle isn't stuck on 2 bar. Does it go up when the heating is put on. The pressure sensor inside the boiler maybe at fault as it is this that will generate the E1 code if the pressure is to low not the actual dial on the front of the boiler...

    Would high pressure stop the boiler from running.

  • @northwestgascertificates
    @northwestgascertificates5 күн бұрын

    If the pressure ever goes over 3 bar, the pressure relief valve opens up and then often needs replacing. You don't want that. If the pressure starts cold at 2 bar, when the radiators start to heat up, the water in them expands and the pressure will always go up and there is a chance it could reach 3 bar...

    Using Coke or Irn Bru is great for cleaning the HX, but you do need to flush it with water after, a good flush!! The Vokera Easiheat is a great wee budget boiler👍👍👍 We look after about 150 here in the West of Scotland. They do need a ‘strip down’ service every couple of years. You also must clean the Condy Trap & Check the Co2, adjust as required. Wee Tip; When don’t your Hi & Lo tests on these. Run the HW & remove the Diverter Valve Actuator. The boiler will remain fired up even on the smallest systems.👍👍👍

  • @northwestgascertificates

    Im unsure. The other end of that 5 core literally joined the live, neutral and earth at the boiler supply. Then the normally open and common went where the link wire originally was in the boiler. Im not going to lie, i need more education when it comes to electrics...

    Make sure the little copper connecting pipe that you see in my video is in place. On rare occasions someone has removed this and there are caps in its place. The boiler would not fill without this in place. Also if you have low water pressure in your house, the filling can be very slow and you have to be patient...
