First of all, thanks for visiting.
I'm Mike Bryant, also known as Mike the Boilerman. (My main website is
www.miketheboilerman.com)
I've built this site specifically to help owners of
Gledhill Gulfstream thermal stores and/or their plumbers identify faults
and fix them.
What IS a Gulfstream?
A Gulfstream is a thermal store just like all (well almost all)
the other Gledhill products. It differs in that the fuel it uses is gas,
and has a gas boiler built into the unit.
A thermal store works in
a significantly different way from ordinary hot water cylinders and
water heaters. Different enough to to mystify many heating
engineers when it comes to fixing them, it seems. Gulfstreams are not
particularly difficult
to understand but they look intimidating, and without background knowledge
many heating
engineers understandably struggle to diagnose faults and repair them efficiently.
I've created this site with the three objectives.
1) To assist owners and repair engineers understand Gledhill
PulsaCoils better and the the faults that sometimes occur. There are several versions of the PulsaCoil. Here are pages
covering three most common:
Gulfstream
Gulfstream 2000
Gulfstream A-Class
2) To promote my own Gulfstream repair service. If you live within reasonable
travelling
distance of
Reading, then please contact me. Click here for details.
3) To help owners of Gulfstreams too far away from me find a local competent
Gulfstream repair engineer. My advice is to phone Gledhill initially.
Gledhill have their own fleet of engineers on the road who carry out
repairs under the Gledhill warranty given with new appliances. Even when
an appliance is 'out of warranty', Gledhill may send one of their
service engineers to carry out a repair (on a chargeable basis) if the
have a local one available. If they don't have an 'in-house' engineer
available they they maintain lists of what they call "Out of
Warranty Service Engineers". These are independent engineers who Gledhill
recommend as being familiar with Gledhill products. I am a Gledhill
Recommended Out of Warranty Service Engineer (as if you hadn't guessed). I
cover Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, south Oxfordshire, West Surrey and
most parts of London. If you are outside this area then call Gledhill on 01253 474401 for the number of
your local Gledhill Out Of Warranty Engineers.
If my pages of common Gulfstream faults and
their symptoms and remedies don't help, I'm happy to give email advice to anyone wanting it. Just
email me. My contact details are here.
Gledhill themselves also offer first class telephone technical support
during normal office hours.
The number again is 01253 474401.
Once again, thanks for visiting.
Mike Bryant, AKA Mike the Boilerman.
