Jon Gill - Verve Gas

@plumbers_urban They are brilliant, but just require a bit more space due to the internal unit.

Fitted my first Viessmann today. What a bit of kit! The best unit on the market right now.

@ssencommunity how long do you take to complete load checks for a heat pump install? Had one with you for 6 weeks and not heard a thing back? Surely with a focus on switching to renewables this shouldn’t be taking as long as it is???

@Peter_Spurway @ViessmannCS_UK Can i get it with my points?

Introducing the Vitocar 🛞 The transport & installation aid for the latest generation Vitocal 150/1-A heat pumps ✅ It helps to lift the outdoor unit from the transport pallet and set it down at the final location, providing safety, reducing risks, saving time & manpower 💪

Shout out to @Damon_BPHR for the call early to answer a few little questions about DNO forms. Only took a couple of minutes but helped me out loads 👊🏽 legend! Im sure he has loads better things to do 😂

Well that was a back breaking few days fitting this @ViessmannCS_UK 222 Storage Combi in a 1st floor airing cupboard on my own. @SpirotechUK protection @IWTM_UK demin fill 👊🏽

@CosyWarmPlumber Cheers for the bit of motivation. Delivery driver gave me a hand up the stairs with it so i chucked him £20. But its in, just got to pipe up now 💪🏽

@VerveGas You can do it I like phsyking myself up to lift boiler on wall in a cupboard

Ever feel like working on your own is shit. Had to take this out from the airing cupboard upstairs. Tomorrow got to take a viessmann 222 up to replace it 😞

@Damon_BPHR @MantaHeating Would hope the 100kg of water would weigh it down enough 😂

@VerveGas @MantaHeating Yeah he did, not sure if any rattling would occur due high load though.

@Damon_BPHR @MantaHeating Might just put the front ones back in, saw heat spec change a cylinder once and got to the front ones fine but had to take it out of position to get to the back ones out

@VerveGas @MantaHeating Bolt them back on mate.

@Damon_BPHR @MantaHeating Do you have to put the bolts back in or are they transport bolts?

@VerveGas @MantaHeating 😂😂😂 I’ve done this before. Yeah and a couple nuts. You gunna be surosied how heavy it is mate

@Damon_BPHR @MantaHeating 112kg, funniest thing you aint seen the size of me, im only 70kg (skinny little fucker) 😂

@Damon_BPHR @MantaHeating Was guna ask the delivery guy to try give me a hand lol, spoke to Merchant yesterday they said he would 😂. But was thinking that, 3 or 4 bolts holding the cylinder in from the underside right?

@VerveGas @MantaHeating Remove the cylinder mate makeninkighter, I’ve never managed a 222 upstairs on my own they are heavy.

@MantaHeating Yep, having my weetabix as i type this so got the strength to lift that 222

@VerveGas Well done That’s a proper nightmare

@Ongasuk Yea it is, was a bit confused when i saw the data badge, but stripped it out to make it as light as possible, its got some tubular baffles like grants oil boilers in it. First time I’ve ever seen one

@VerveGas Fair play getting that out, is that the IMI version ?

@nixonelectrical Im no electrician (well used to be to 17th) but i fitted one at my house. The app they have is good and can integrate with most tariffs. Cant fault mine

Do you rate these

@Jmrheating @ViessmannCS_UK What do you think of the internal unit? Ive heard a few don’t like it but i reckon its a mega bit of kit. Im doing 1 end of the month in a little lodge renovation. Tight on space so got the 151 with integrated hw cylinder

@DrBoilers @FalconHeatingDW @GasManGod @WorcesterBosch @baxiboilers @idealheating @glow_wormclub @vaillantuk I don’t know the in’s & out’s but read that they basically jumped at the 1st chance to kick everyone in the teeth

@FalconHeatingDW @VerveGas @GasManGod @WorcesterBosch @baxiboilers @idealheating @glow_wormclub @vaillantuk They can put off the fines for not selling 4% worth of their boiler sales as heat pumps... By hoping they sell 10% of their boiler sales as heat pumps the year after 🤣😂😆

Government Boiler Tax Price rises What we know manufacturers will raise prices by on the First of January in the year of Our Lord 2024 @WorcesterBosch £120 @baxiboilers £120 @idealheating £110 @glow_wormclub £95 @vaillantuk £95 Amen!

@scottieplumbgas @GasManGod @WorcesterBosch @baxiboilers @idealheating @glow_wormclub @vaillantuk 🤷🏽‍♂️ no idea, all i know is they will keep it under review, maybe their ratio of heat pumps to boiler installs is better than most as they don’t sell as many boilers into the uk as Worcester & Ideal etc

@VerveGas @GasManGod @WorcesterBosch @baxiboilers @idealheating @glow_wormclub @vaillantuk @VerveGas Is it because they know they will hit their target or because they don’t hit the threshold on numbers of gas boilers sold?
