Some questions for your installer

Are you a registered installer?

Yes we are registered, qualified, insured installers. RGII company registration number CO721. A Declaration of Conformance is issued with each installation .         

Are you VAT registered?

Yes we are VAT registered.

Are you an SEAI registered contractor?

Yes we are registered for grant work. Contractor number  12959. We are registered for heating control upgrades with high efficiency gas and oil boilers. The solar hot water systems we install are also eligible for SEAI grants.

What guarantee is with the boiler?

Most boilers have a 2 year warranty. Ideal, Glow Worm, Viessman Ariston and Worcester Bosch have introduced 5 year manufacturer's guarantees. The Ideal Vogue currently has a 10 year warranty. Sauter controls have a 5 year guarantee. These guarantees are subject to flushing the system prior to fitting the new boiler, commissioning the boiler, inhibiting the system and fitting the boiler in compliance with the manufacturer's instructions and IS813. The boiler also requires an annual service. The installation details and service record must be entered in the log book that comes with the boiler. We are accredited Worcester-Bosch installers.

What are magnetic filters?

Magnetic filters protect and maintain the efficiency of your heating system and boiler. Heating systems comprise of different types of metals and plastics. Over time corrosion will occur and this will manifest as sludge which will reduce the efficiency of your boiler and the output of the radiators. As this sludge is mainly iron oxide it will attach to the filter maintaining your heating system at optimum efficiency. Magnetic filters and inhibitors are now standard with all our installations.

What is flushing?

A Chemical is added to the heating system and circulated for a minimum of 2 hours at normal operating temperature and then the system is drained and refilled twice. Older systems need to be powerflushed with a powerflush pump. It is essential that scale and sludge are removed before fitting a high efficiency boiler. We now powerflush all systems prior to installing a new boiler. For 2011 we have added a powerful magnetic filter to rapidly remove iron oxide from the old system.

What is commissioning?

Commissioning is the adjusting of the boiler for efficient combustion of the gas. A gas analyser is required to take CO and CO2 content along with flue gas temperature and combustion efficiency. The gas valve is then adjusted to the manufacturer's recommended settings. The gas rate is also checked by timing the gas consumption at the meter.

What is inhibitor?

Inhibitor is a chemical added to the new system to prevent corrosion, the build up of scale and sludge. Scale or sludge will shorten the life of the pump and heat exchanger as well as reducing the efficiency of the boiler

What is IS813?

IS stands for Irish Standard and 813 is the standard for domestic gas installations. When a new boiler is fitted items such as the gas supply and electrical earthing need to be brought up to standard. Older gas supplies may have to be increased in size so that the correct flow and pressure is achieved at the new boiler. A 10 sq. earth from the fuse board to the gas supply is required and exposed metal pipework needs to be cross bonded. The Declaration of Conformance is declaring that the installation meets the standards of IS813

Do you Service the boilers?

Yes we service all boilers that we install.

What about my old boiler?

We take it away. All part of the service.
