Re: gas / pressure drop when CH fires up |

You will notice a slight fluctuation on the appliances, but it shouldn't be so
noticeable that it causes the appliance to be hugely less efficient. So if the
burner on the stove is actually being really affected, then have the system
checked out by the supply company.

What flagged it up to me was the smallest burner is sometimes hard to
light, and I think its the drop in pressure causing the problem...

Thanks for the replies chaps... i`ll see how it gets on - the problem
lighting might have been something daft like the top of the burner not
being correctly aligned - there`s no "key" on the burner assembly to
align to on the cooker we`ve got, just a slightly raised (0.5mm) ridge
so i`ll keep an eye on it.

Be very careful here.
Does the hob have a flame failure device?
If not, you have the risk that a burner on a low simmer setting could
go out when the boiler fires up, leading perhaps to your rapid exit
through one of the windows surrounded by the remainder of your house.
I don't want to be melodramatic, but this should be checked.

Not sure about the hob, but i`m pretty certain the oven does
I know what you`re saying... once lit the audible pitch changes but it
stays on quite happily.

If it was working OK, and now the pressure has dropped, contact Transco. It
could be the meter governor.

Then have it checked out by your supply company to be sure. If it's causing
problems now, you sure don't want them in the middle of winter.
