Doomed - now the gas is running out

[moorfield]

Here at Moorfield Towers we have two boilers. Earlier this evening both cut out within 10 mins of each other with error codes R01 and F1. Checking the manuals I noticed these are both ignition errors - possible cause low gas pressure. One boiler has restarted ok the other is still not igniting.

Spooky.

It was in the Times earlier today but dropped off their front page.

The National Grid issued a gas balancing alert (GBA) yesterday afternoon, only the second time that the mechanism has been used.

A spokesman said the alert had already proved effective and bosses were meeting again today to decide whether to issue a further GBA after the current warning expires.

GBAs are a way of warning major customers to ease off on the fuel as well as encouraging suppliers to bring in more gas.

A spokesman said that some power suppliers had stopped using gas yesterday afternoon which eased the pressure.

He added: “The big generators like E.ON have gas-fired power stations and coal-fired power stations. They can choose to switch from gas to coal.

“We thought there was going to be a certain amount of gas going into the country and then a few suppliers, their supplies dropped off.

“They weren’t going to be able to provide the amount that we thought, so we issued a GBA so hopefully that’s going to bring it back to where it should be.”

The first time a GBA was used was in March 2006.
