Combi Gas Boilers
Could somebody tell me what the regulations are for DIY fitting a Gas Combi
Boiler. I am proposing to replace my Combi Gas Boiler with a New Combi gas boiler and want to get the finished project checked out for safety. |

Yes you can if you deem yourself competent and are indeed competent. If you can plumb, can follow technical documents, read regs then the chances are you are competent. However a Corgi engineer must commision the boiler if you want any guarantee upheld by the manufacturer. And is more than likely a good idea in any case. On the other hand do what the heck you like in this/these god forsaken regulation ridden country/times. /*that's better, where's my medication*/ -- Mike W |

You start with the one basic requirement that you are "competent" (a term used in the statutory instrument, but left undefind).

Have a read of the intro to this FAQ for more detail: http://www.makewrite.demon.co.uk/GasFitting.html -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |
