servicing a lpg gas boiler

[jackreacher]

i have a calor gas boiler in my house making some noise. the make is baxi and its about 2 years old at this stage. should i be ringing calor to organise a service or do they recommend someone of a panel ie not a calor employee. anyone have an idea what it will cost or whats involved.

my concern at the moment is when i switch on the gas it makes a hell of a racket and the gas pressure is lower than i remember seeing it. its at around .5/.6 now where as it used to be constantly around 1 bar.

any opinions experience appreciated

Hi, yes Calor should have a list of recommended service technicians, or what area are you in, maybe I can give you a contact.

As for you problem, if your boiler sounds like a kettle, or is starting to bang it will be due to poor installation of the heating system, and you may need a new heatexchanger fitted along with a system cleanse and powerflush (not cheap)
but really the only way to go.

cheers

maybe 150 euro for the heat exchange (plus fitting) 300-500 for the cleanse and powerflush of your system.

Sorry haven't any Kerry contacts. I Davy sticks his head in this thread maybe he will know someone (he is Cork based I think)

I'll have you know, I am a Limerick man. But I forgive as I am within touching distance of the Republic's border .

Your best bet is to ring colar, they have a list of approved guys in your area.
