Saying I can work in sub zero temperatures with a hot system is true, but from a customers perspective they are generally not happy to have water sloshed around their house when it will freeze.

Had today off.

I'm just in the middle of fitting an immersion so reckon I'll be keen to try it out tomorrow in any blizzard.


Can't believe you spent all that money on a diesel heater daz only to have the week off at the first sign of freezing temps   ;D ;D

true but its not that that worries me.....

its getting stuck in the snow with half a ton of water in the back of my van....or sliding into another vehicle...its not worth it when theres snow and ice on the ground....

nope....

i invested money in a diesel hot water system for hot water all year round to make my working days a bit easier.....not to work in snow and ice.....oh and to stop my system freezing overnight during the winter months....

Went out about 11am back by 1 pm.

Work achieved 0 %

Un plugged water system at my parents garage, Brought indoors.

Blizzard conditions, where I live 6 miles away blue skies not a snow flake 😖

Just got a newer van don't want to risk it 😣

The areas I work have had 4-5” today and blizzard conditions are forecast for Thursday and Friday,not the hot water you want to worry about it’s smashing the van up. At least the van will keep the heater  turning on and off keeping everything frost free eh Daz 😂

Done a full day today, just finished now. It’s 4°C out there now Daz, the roads were back to normal by 10am.

£5k brand new system and you’ve sacked it off the first real cold we’ve had all winter 😂
