I can see you just sheering it straight off lol

[VW BUSH]

Don't let him go without flushing the system and bleeding it properly.
You would be surprised how many "heating engineers" don't do this.
Don't let him charge you too much either

[emery1990]

I hate the word heating engineer and gas engineer, it's a plumber and those jobs, heating etc is what plumbers do. Go design a heating system for a factory or a big hotel, then you can call yourself one  Probably no need for flushing the system thats a couple of hundred quid by itself lol well few hundred with british gas  So highly doubt he'll just get his powerflusher out and give you one. If it has been re-filled recently ie drained air let in, then could be an air lock, or it may just need balancing. Doubt it's nothing that serious.

which one are you then?

[emery1990]

A plumber, I just think an engineer is in a different league then just domestic heating systems. And to people who just fix boilers and say they are gas engineers like my mate.lol

Which one are you?

[Toby]

Im a. Plumber , and who i work for dont touch heating! Unless were replacing cylinders!

At work im called a plumber and drainage engenier :/

So many difernt aspects to plumbing tbh a plumber dont do lead work much either thats a roofers job these days

[emery1990]

Thats what I was trying to get at lol different aspects. Like I do solar, wiring up cylinders ,heating bathrooms and house bashing, house bashing probably being the best lol but dont learn nothing doing it! And now I've just been sent on an f-gas course for air source heat pumps as that is to do with cylinders and heating water. Christ knows why I learnt lead at college lol never touched it again since!

If your company are paying id not complain

I consider myself a heating and gas engineer, and not a plumber. Along with my welder friend i built most of the boiler house at the london museum in barbican a few years ago. I designed and built a boilerhouse for a school in isleworth last summer and did a large hotel in marble arch the year before. Boilers ranged from 200kw up to 1000kw each. I am currently doing a lot of work in renewable energy, mainly air source heat pumps.

I try not to get involved in fitting sanitary ware unless it's part of a complete new build installation.
