    Commercial Boiler

    I was asked to fault find on a Ideal IMAX W60 commercial boiler which I did and found that the boiler controller was faulty. My question is, am I allowed to replace the controller which is situated in the boiler, albeit that you do not have to remove the casing. Advise would be appreciated.
