My 40Kw Baxi Ecotec Combi developed a faulty diverter the other day and as its on a repair contract the Baxi Man came round to repair it At the end he said that the gas pressure was on the low side slightly under what it should be ( maybe 15 instead of 17? Millibars possibly? not sure I accurately remember the numbers ) and said he had to put a notice on it "Danger Do not use " he said operationally it was fine everything else was within limits but by the book he had to put the notice on it ....... he left it running and operational .
Now the Boiler gets serviced every year since about 2010 by Gas safe engineer several different ones over the years ( and even one who did a landlord gas safe certificate on it as he got confused about my rental properties ) and has been attended to on about 4 or 5 occasions by a Baxi Engineer the last one as recently as December 2020 and Never on any of those occasions has there been any issue reported so why am I now getting this notice ? He said I should alter the Gas feed from the meter from 22mm to 28mm and take a straighter route . What I cant get over is nothing has changed over the last 11 years except perhaps their standards is this the old industry creating work ? If it really is dangerous then fair enough ,but what if the street gas pressure drops from time to time should they all be turned off
Its irritating hence the rant I'm determined to find out exactly what the issue and the potential risk is and how this situation has suddenly arisen
Any gas engineers or someone with any understanding of this ?
