If you are for real and not a wind up merchant then, no it's not normal.

 

[Corgigrouch]

Absolutely not... Get him out to sort it out....He was CORGI wasn't he?

 

[pete1405]

He may have been right but the governor may have failed

British Gas is now just another ( more expensive ) company!

During this cold weather we can be quite busy and you should expect that it may be a day to two before he can call you back.

Leave a message for him or write and explain the problem. Ask him to telephone you, say, within three days to be reasonable.

Obviously the gas pipe is undersized but you MUST give him the chance to correct it before taking any unreasonable action.

If you privately email me through my profile to give me his CORGI number then I would be happy to contact him on your behalf.

He has to do the job properly but also you should follow the correct procedure to enable him to sort it out first.

There's a lot of things he needs to check to ensure that each appliance receives the correct supply pressure.

Call him back, and if you are still not satisfied get CORGI involved. - If the job is up to standard he has nothing to fear, but if it isn't CORGI will ask him to carry out remedial work to sort it out.

I still think he may have got the pipe sizes right but the governor has died

it has happend to me just after an install before when I left the working pressure is spot on

get the call and when i get back the WP is 13!!! dead governor

so please dont condemn the man just yet.
