Wired up the boiler thermostat wrong resulting in blowing the motherboard and costing me in excess of £250

  • TRADESPERSON, 15/11/2023 18:31

    I don’t normally into conflict situations but would like to point out the following. Prior to starting I switched the boiler off at the plug socket and removed the plug. The client supplied the new thermostat and it was already partially installed. The old thermostat had 3 wires into it, numbered by whoever installed it years ago 1 , 2 & 3 & connected them. The boiler would not then turn on. The client makes no mention of the 3 light switches which she required fixed although the job said replace 1.

  • HOMEOWNER, 15/11/2023 18:49

    This still doesn’t explain that two of the three wires that you installed were touching causing damage to the boiler motherboard

  • TRADESPERSON, 15/11/2023 19:05

    I am not going to reply to this as it is quite pointless.

  • TRADESPERSON, 16/11/2023 07:13

    Wow can’t thank you enough, just been informed that you’ve changed my initial rating of 3 stars down to 1.

  • HOMEOWNER, 16/11/2023 07:40

    When the boiler engineer found the fault he said you should pay for the repair. There has been no mention from you to offer this

  • HOMEOWNER, 20/01/2025 22:26

    He was an absolute shambles and blew the mother board on my boiler which he wouldn’t pay for. So it cost me £400. I’m a pensioner with cancer at the time. He saw me coming

    Ian did a good job replacing a number of down-lights, a fire alarm and a installed a new extractor fan in an en-suite shower room. He’s polite, friendly, knowledgeable and efficient, both in terms of the job and the admin before and after. We’d happily use his services again.
