writes I fear that the tightened regulations regarding ventilation for open flued natural draught appliances has really put a full stop on warm air installation..2008 will really cause an uproar when the ventilation requirements tighten further...i guess room sealed warm air would be the way to go if you want to go that way... seems like a lot of bother when wet systems really meets all the current safety requirments... Let me hazard a guess and say that its ALOT EASIER to fit a wet system than a warm air system?? im not a fitter or engineer by the way! a wee bit higher up the ranks Aha, so that's why you keep on coming up with erroneous statements I was wondering -- geoff |

Really, no But then, you seem to be a bit ambiguous on that point too As john pointed out, you seem to have contradicted yourself and from the start you seem to have been posting advice which just isn't correct You see, there are people here who do have a clue, you have yet to show that you fall into this category -- geoff |

So to sum up
Its true to say that Warm Air Units are finished in the UK. Its also fairly accurate to say that its foolish to instal a system that is concidered OBSOLETE by the MAJORITY of qualified competent gas installers.. Wet systems by far outstrip the efficiency ratings of WAU and also are much safer In the case of a house fire WAU tend to rapidly spread dangerous smoke/ fumes to all rooms I could write a book of the safety issues regards WAU.. Anyway this topic is now dead and buried ..thanks for all your messages THE END |

"gastec" wrote in message ... So to sum up Firstly, the summing up has to be done by someone with brains. Let's see... Its true to say that Warm Air Units are finished in the UK. Not at all. They are gaining popularity because the cooling, heat recovery and fresh air element. Its also fairly accurate to say that its foolish to instal a system that is concidered OBSOLETE by the MAJORITY of qualified competent gas installers.. No, obsolete by you, who is clearly lacking. Wet systems by far outstrip the efficiency ratings of WAU Not so. WAU is more efficient. and also are much safer This is a very stupid allegation. In the case of a house fire WAU tend to rapidly spread dangerous smoke/ fumes to all rooms Not so. A fire damper can be fitted, which closes in case of fire. It can close the supply ducts and the extract is left open taking the smoke to atmosphere. I could write a book of the safety issues regards WAU.. You wouldn't get more than half a sentence. Anyway this topic is now dead and buried ..thanks for all your messages Thank God for that, as you clearly haven't a clue. |

Sad but true. On the contrary; I have been published in The Times, PC Magazine, and IIRC Wireless World; none of them noted for plagiarism (although I'm still waiting for the cheque from PC Magazine ...). I'm not surprise. You should pay them. Therefore I must have come up with something original on at least three occasions. They need columns to fill. |
