Discuss Question - British Gas engineer says there is a fault ? in the Central Heating Systems area at ElectriciansForums.net
If needed to call in someone to fix my boiler, my first choice would not be BG. Ask your neighbours if they can recommend a local independant gas fitter.Firstly I don't know if I'm allowed here as I am not an electrician
I have a question though....
Just had british gas out here to service my boiler
He refused to carry out service because voltage stick glowed when he touched the casing on speaking with another gas engineer he tells me that as 240 volts go through the boiler then the voltage stick may just light anyway.
You can touch the casing without any ill effects
On speaking with British Gas engineer, he then put a meter into one of my upstairs sockets and said it read 100 oms and that this would be classed as dangerous, quickly followed by he isn't an electrical engineer.
Obviously this has made me worry as reading was in my sons bedroom.
my questions are...
1. The volt stick is it a true indicator of fault?
2. Is 100 oms too much for a plug socket and if so how dangerous?
3. As plug sockets and boiler on 2 separate rings then how can there be a fault on both?
