That is an interesting topic about lack of qualified engineers to work
on Warm Air Units..

When i revalidated my uk licence ACS...I definately felt a lack of
interest in the WAU licence..

All other ACS classes had over 60 participants where as the WAU class
had myself and 3 others???????

True enough i service and repair 10 systems a day an id guess that ive
only saw 4 WAU this year ..

I do not believe you can possibly give full and proper attention to 10
systems a day no matter what you describe as "a system". Even if it were
possible that each and every one was next door to the last one. (Unless you
work extremely long hours and have no accounted time travelling to the job.)
Eggaggeration undermines your arguments


I hear that alot of Warm Air Systems are being removed..

Is this a concern over the whole of the UK or is it just windy auld
Scotland??

I recently retired from gas work but certainly in my part of Yorkshire I was
one of the few who did WA. Most of the units were aged and the occupants had
inherited them. Of the total I used to visit two occupants liked them the
remaining 19 or so complained in various permutations about the air movement
sensation (call it
draught if you like), the muted but annoying "whoosh" sound and various
physiological sensations such as dry throats, blocked noses and spread of
cooking smells if the kitchen door was left open to allow a return path to
the unit intake.
Offhand I can't think of any new systems being installed locally but I do
know of a couple being removed and wet systems installed.
