    So the only benefit over an independent is that BG will come out on a weekday between say 5pm and 9am?
    I'd love to know what the % availability of engineers is during weekends and holidays?
    Definition of 'limited'?
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
  • i don't know about others but I'm on call 24/7 inc xmas day & boxing day (emergencies only though i'm not going out to change a tap washer :D)
    I'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.

    You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.

    We run at 40% sat, 20% sun and 10% overnight but easily meets demand.

    Frozen Condensate pipe?

    Have they learned nothing yet?

    They should bring back the good old overflow pipe idea.
    A few cupfuls of water in the kitchen is a lot better than drowned boiler electrics.

    Frozen condensate pipe? It hasn't been frosty for over a week!

    I think this is not a frozen condensate pipe, but a case of the installer who missed the lecture on water+gravity at college!
    Or the pipe is somehow blocked.
