In the bowels of a boiler this morning & it got me thinking; the easiest money I’ve ever made was from closing my mouth & opening my ears. Let me explain further: an old SE gas combi, a Ferolli Modena 102. Her best years are behind her & she’s crusty. I swear there’s never been a hoover, brush or probe near her since she was installed, but the flame is a blue delight, Pump & fan run perfectly!
Now, two previous ‘Engineers’ have visited, shit their pants & fucked off, so they never cured the old girl of her alements. Now yours truly gets the call by the despondent Home owner, who’s at pains to tell me the whole long-winded story.
After listening to what he’d said a Saturday morning visit was agreed, £100 including the first hour on-site plus parts. So I arrive at the designated time, have a quick Butchers, listen again to the story of the two young pups short visits & departures.
Anyrode, the boiler was firing up for a minute or so & then shutting down. Lovely blue flame on High(running HW), lovely blue flame on Low(calling for CH), so that eliminates most of the functions of the boiler, it was nearly all 100%! Now comes the closing mouth & opening ears bit; I was once told by a highly respected guy, on a SE fan flue boiler, any make. If it’s not firing or staying on, open the Combustion Chamber door slightly. Then, if it behaves as it should & runs as sweet as a nut, it’s a ‘top end’ boiler problem.
So, what was the problem you may ask, simple, blocked Venturi. Off with the hose, blast of Air & out the door 100 quid better off, just by listening - using my shell likes.
The Flat Earthers; well it was my Father, a lovely kind, hard but fair man, that I miss on a daily basis. It was dinner time & the subject of ‘how can the earth be round & look so flat Dad’ question was asked. Well said my Dad ‘ look at the circumference of that plate, hold it up & look at the top’. ‘Then hold up that Salver, look at the top, see how it’s bigger & looks flatter on the top’. Ching.....penny drop time!!!👍👍👍👍
Rember to use your ears people, they’ll make you money😜
