Everyone’s needing their heating now

Typical Monday after a cold weekend. Heating breakdowns all over, hit the ground running, no time to catch up about the weekend. Got the last van re-liveried today. Looks good, showing interest free credit for all Worcester boilers and up to 10 years’ warranty.

 

Roof with a view

Meeting first thing on a roof in Menzieshill to design supports for a PV system. It’s blawing a hoolie but a wonderful view. Back to office to fend off more grief / phone calls from Robbie. Lots of PV systems installations to be fitted before year end.

Do your research!

Phone call today from a management company offering up to a 1000 solar PV systems, to be done by April 2016, installing 2 x 4kW systems per day, he says. Testing the system can’t be done in that time let alone the installation. Brings to mind CAVEAT EMPTOR – Buyer Beware.

Is your boiler as efficient as it could be?

Back to jobbing today: toilets overflowing, disconnecting old gas fires, and visiting customers to discuss replace their old boiler and upgrade controls. Did you know, reducing your room thermostat by only 1? can reduce fuel bills by 10%? So says the Energy Saving Trust.

 

Friday already?

Friday again! Where does the time go? Pouring with rain, again. Will have to get a new pair of work shoes. Why is it the Boss is always last? Seeing Fun Box, formerly Singing Kettle, at Whitehall Theatre on Sunday with granddaughter. Something to look forward to.
