At 4 PM the British Gas fitter (Chris) left the house having completed all the work for the new boiler. The system has been fully flushed and bled. The expansion tank had very dirty water in it. The radiators all (except one) have thermostat valves and the new flue and condensation pipes are fitted and plastered in. I now have taps to drain the system (inside front door and by boiler) and also a tap on the pipe leading to the expansion tank.
There was just one problem. The electrician could not find the cable that controlled the room thermostat so could not wire this in to the new controller. To get around this a wireless controller will be fitted, but owing to the the bank holidays and Christmas break he could not get hold of one this year. It should be a quick visit in the new year to replace the old thermostat and fit the controller to the hot water tank.
All in all very pleased with the job. It was well done and resolved some underlying issues (rounded off bleed taps, corrosive water and missing drain taps) with the system. It is already noticeable that the radiators are warmer.
