Up to now, I've managed to get through my entire plumbing career having avoided fitting one of these bleddy things... Safe to say I shan't be rushing to do the next... I have spent far too long wedged in this b***ard of a space !! 🙈🙈 The lagging can wait for a few days whilst I unfold my legs and stretch my spine out straight again!... On to the next we go... . @telfordcylinders @flamcogroupru @wiloukltd @honeywell @honeywell_home . #adayinthelifeofaheatingengineer #adayinthelifeofaplumber #xpress #copper #dontstresspress #unvented #unventedcylinder #g3 #pipework #pipeworkpimp #plumbkernow 
Yeah, I think your glycol concentration might be a bit too high madam. . There's dosing correctly to ensure the system is protected, and then there's just banging in a shedload of gloopy fluid, not testing it, and hoping you get away with it... . Admittedly it probably won't freeze, but you've essentially got blue treacle pumping around the system causing unnecessary stress on system components and also having a huge negative effect on system efficiency ! 🤦♂️🙈 . Your heat pumps deserves better. . #paypeanutsgetmonkeys #lookafteryourheatpump #ashp #heatpump #airsourceheatpump #maintenanceiskey #heatpumpmaintenance #annualservice #heating #dailyhvac #heatpumpscornwall #plumbkernow #ionlydotechnicalshit 
Finally got this beauty finished, just in time .... You gotta admit it, I'm on top of my game !!!

It's not rocket science... But it is science... . Getting stuck into another module on the @heat_geek Heating Mastery Course, and pushing the old grey matter harder every time I open the book. . Great words from @sideshowsquarepants sums this course up perfectly... "Yes, the questions are supposed to be hard".. 🤣🤣 . I'm really impressed with the content and the course structure that is cleverly designed to force you through to the correct thought process... although it really hurts my brain and makes me want to smash my computer up sometimes 🙈🙈 . Looking forward to the next half of the course soon (but now for gin)... . #notyouraverageplumber #anyonecanchuckpipestogether #butiknowwhyitworks #heatingmastery #heatgeek #heatgeeksassemble #seperatethewheatfromthechaffe #everydayisaschoolday #keeplearning #plumbing #heating #dailyhvac #adayinthelifeofaheatingengineer #adayinthelifeofaplumber #plumbkernow #pipeworkpimp #ionlydotechnicalshit

2nd year service for this @mygrantuk Aerona3 air source heat pump system that I installed back in 2019 as part of a complete new build installation for a local developer. .

What an absolute treat this was 👌... Absolutely everything in this box was delicious and more 😍 Amazing work @aldervineyard . #prevalentineslunch #alder #aldervineyard #lovefood #eatlocal #whatatreat #washeddownwithport 
Friday was all about Samsung ASHP and Joule Pre-plumbs... . First full proper services on these 3 systems, on the same development, which hadn't had the attention they deserve and need since they were installed in 2018!! The inconsistencies in the install quality, water condition etc, from plot to plot was mind-blowing, considering it was the same installer on the whole job 🤷🏻 . So many people think that this type of system is just fit and forget, or that the cost of a proper service is too expensive... Frankly this is such a naive attitude, which is soon turned on its head if/when things start to go wrong !!! . Ah well, a bit of MPA TLC and were golden for another year 👍😁 . #preventionisbetterthancure #lookafteryourheatpump #samsung #ashp #heatpump #joule #joulecylinders #unvented #g3 #hotwater #adayinthelifeofaheatingengineer #adayinthelifeofaplumber #dailyhvac #annualservice #heating #renewableheating #renewableenergy #plumbing #heating #pipeworkpimp #plumbkernow #ionlydotechnicalshit 
Me: "the only way this situation could be any worse would be if the dickhead original sparky felt it necessary to hide the UFH wiring centre in the most inaccessible place in the cupboard..."

Professional' turd polishing'... . This place was literally thrown-in, about 18 years ago, and the system has suffered 2 catastrophic leaks in the past 4 years from fitting failure... The first leak meant that the majority of the floors had to be ripped out and replaced, and now the exact same thing has happened again !!! Finally the customer saw sense and let me get rid. It's not the prettiest, but it's 100% better, and more reliable than it was before ! . @uponoruk MLC for the win 👍 . #ripitoutandstartagain #adayinthelifeofaheatingengineer #adayinthelifeofaplumber #dailyhvac #hvac #heating #plumbing #pipework #mlc #paypeanutsgetmonkeys #pipeworkpimp #plumbkernow

2nd annual system service for this cracker that I installed in early 2018 (obvs)... My one and only LG ThermaV ASHP install to date. No particular reason for that other than it's not my usual go-to manufacturer, and the LG was specified by the developer 🤷🏻 All running sweet as ever. . #LGThermaV #ashp #annualservice #heatpump #renewableheating #renewableenergy #plantroom #dailyhvac #adayinthelifeofaheatingengineer #adayinthelifeofaplumber #plumber #heatingengineer #plumbkernow #ionlydotechnicalshit
