Think our 6 year old boiler may need part fixed (fan we think). Bosch condensing boiler -fault showing on monitor relates to fan. Have got heating to go back on and fault on monitor gone for moment.not sure if it may have been related to cold (outlet pipe was frozen yesterday and needed thawed).Not yet organised a service contract so will need to pay for someone to come out. Any recommendations for West end of Glasgow please? And any idea of cost if fan does need replaced?Thanks

I used a company called First Call Gas and Electric for servicing my gas appliances and boiler and providing a gas certificate for several years (I don't have a lodger anymore so now I don't need a certificate). Their prices were quite reasonable for that, but I never needed anything repaired so I can't comment on what they might charge.

Approx £80 for the part, not including fitting. However if you can use a screwdriver you can DIY it's not difficult.

I've used them for safety cert and service, find them excellent to deal with and decently priced although also not sure about repairs.

Maybe just me but I can't seem to find 'First Call Gas and Electric' registered on the Gas Safe Website

You can also have a look at the DIYnot . com forums, they're really good and there's a very prominent Glasgow heating engineer who posts frequently.

There seems to be a lot of plumbers that start with "First Call".

Can you tell me if this is the company that you are all referring to?
