@Kangaroo – very good points, which I’ve already made to them. I mean, it’s not rocket surgery – all the HWSs were installed at the same time, all of them were good for about 40 years, therefore (unless by some miraculous chance mine was the very last to give out) some plumber is going to have a very happy 12 months or so going around the estate replacing HWSs.
As far as by-laws go – I don’t disagree with the government regs, but am seriously concerned that I appear to be the only person in my BC who is not suffering from galloping senility. Should have expected it I guess – have had these issues with BCs before.
As far as the heat pump – I figure that I’ve had three quotes from plumbers with up to 20 years experience in alternative tech and if all three reckon that my back yard is too shady (and cold!) to run a heat pump, then I reckon they should know! Certainly they don’t gain anything by telling me that, in fact it stops them making an easy sale.
@PeterC – I reckon that might be the way to go. Hate to start my tenure in a block by threatening legal action against the BC, but this is complete insanity!
