Ferroli GS 16 OE TG Gas Heater Replacement With Macro MA-20WOD Gas Heater at D’Castilia on 2 Mar 2024

A homeowner at D'Castilia Condominium contacted Homeone, facing an issue with a gas heater that had reached the end of its lifespan and could no longer supply hot water. Our team promptly conducted a site assessment, focusing initially on inspecting the electrical connections, including the power supply and control panel. All electrical components were confirmed to be in proper working condition.

We then turned our attention to the condition of the existing gas heater, specifically examining the motherboard and heat exchanger. The inspection revealed significant issues—the motherboard was melted, and the heat exchanger had rusted, clearly indicating that the heater was beyond repair and required immediate replacement.

The homeowner opted for the installation of a Macro MA-20WOD gas water heater. Our installation package includes comprehensive services, such as Manometer testing (U-gauge testing) and the issuance of a gas certificate, fully compliant with Regulation 21 of the Gas (Supply) Regulations 2008. All gas service work, including piped gas installations, is carried out by a Licensed Gas Service Worker (LGSW) to ensure safety and regulatory adherence.

Ferroli GS 16 OE TG gas water heater replacement to Macro MA-20WOD- Before and After- D'Castillia

Before

Replaced Ferroli GS 16 OE TG gas water heater at end of service life.

After

Replaced Macro MA-20WOD and corroded sections of cold water copper piping with new piping. Utilised single-use fittings during the replacement to ensure optimal joint integrity. Reconnecting old fittings again risks erosion, particularly in high-speed water systems, and raises the chance of corrosion in water and gas piping. This increases the risk of water or gas leaks. Replaced the faulty cold water sensor as part of overall maintenance to ensure optimal functionality.
