Can I install central heating myself as long as a Corgi reg'd engineer connects the gas? Thanks. Ben?

Answer 1

Yes you can, as long as you feel competent enough to do it. You must work out the size of your radiators for each room , you must have the right size copper pipes for the runs of pipes, you must run your cold water feed , you must buy the right size boiler for the system , you must fit suitable drain offs etc. Good luck with the job. PS. don't fit the room thermostat in the hall way.

Answer 2

legally - yes, but technically - no. There are millions of botched DIY heating systems fitted by well intentioned individuals. but due to technical issues such as pipe diameter, flow/return ratio, heat loss/recovery temperatures, pressure hammer situations doe to having too many bends and pump pressure settings, sealed system or gravity fed, etc. I'd leave it to a professional and then take out a good service contract. Bad plumbing/heating can be a constant pain in the neck, is very unreliable and will impact upon the sale of the house in the future if there are obvious problems or it looks like a DIY job.

Answer 3

You can fit the boiler yourself in your own home as long as you are competent. You do not need to be corgi registered, there is nothing in Law to say that you must be corgi registered to do your own gas work.

Answer 4

you don't only get a corgi registered engineer you need a qualified to part 'p' electrician .make sure installed to building regs and if your corgi man don't register with local council .rules are there to protect you or make money for the rule makers.you chose which you believe

Answer 5

You can fit the rads and pipe work but you can not fit the Boiler unless your a Corgi red'd engineer.

Answer 6

There are a bunch of things you should know about dog training but we are going to discuss what I feel are some the most important. Keep in mind that these are only some of the things you should know. Go here http://OnlineDogTraining.enle.info/?CWW8

1. Repetition is the number 1 principle of dog training. Dogs just like humans learn by doing things over and over in order to get better.

2. Dog Training can and should be fun for both you and your new pet.

3. Training sessions should always be short but sweet. I never work a dog more than 15 minutes in a session to keep from losing the dog's attention. You should train you dog at least once a day but never more than three formal sessions a day.

4. Your goal should be that each training session is just a little bit better than the last one. You need to always strive to make the training better, slowly. I mention this because quite often I see people who do daily training sessions but the dog never gets better and it is not the dogs fault.

5. Having patients is very important in dog training. Losing your temper does not work with a canine it simply makes things worse.

6. Exercise is very important in the training process to get rid of all the dogs nervous energy.

7. Taking your pet for walks is very important because it develops serotonin which gives your dog a feeling of well being.

8. Always be sure to give your dog a bunch of praise in your training. It is your dog's paycheck for doing a great job.

9. Never hit your dog. I have heard people say I never hit my dog instead I roll up a magazine and swat it. It's the same thing... hitting is hitting.

10. After each training session be sure to do something that your dog will enjoy. Take it for a walk, throw the ball or maybe even rub its belly. Just do something that makes the dog look forward to the next training session.

These are things that I teach my dog training students as well as my dog training clients. I hope these things will give you something to think about when training your dog. Spend some time training your dog daily and you will both reap the benefits.

Answer 7

yes you can in short. one thing to watch out for is the rise/fall of the flue as this can determine the performance of your boilers output... i fitted my own and nearly missed out this step as figured hole in the wall..."that's where the flue goes"?

this following bit of info may be wrong, however.... i didn't think it was illegal to pipe your OWN gas pipes.... you only have to be registered to work on other peoples property... a CORGI registered plumber will have to COMMISION it though (i.e. basically check that it's all done correctly with no leaks)

Answer 8

yes you can do it urself aslong as a registered engineer connects ur gas, coz i asked if i could fit my own shower in and i was told as long as its checked with a qualified electrician then its fine. good luck

Answer 9

yes you can as you have stated but corgi engineer has to give you a certification of safe installation
good luck

Answer 10

you can do what you want as long as it is checked after you have finished the job. This is enforced by law to ensure you dont have things like leaks etc that put not only your life at risk but those of people around you.
