First of all, thanks for visiting.

I'm Mike Bryant, also known as Mike the Boilerman. I've built this site specifically to help owners of Gledhill PulsaCoil thermal stores and/or their plumbers identify faults and fix them.

Gledhill PulsaCoil water heaters are 'thermal stores', which work 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. Pulsacoils 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 the four most common:

PulsaCoil
PulsaCoil III
PulsaCoil 2000
PulsaCoil A-Class

For more information

2) To promote my own PulsaCoil repair service. If you live within driving distance of Reading, then please contact me. Click here for details.

 I'll drive anywhere but most of my work is in Berkshire, north Hampshire, south Oxfordshire, West Surrey and west London. If you are outside this area then by all means try me. Travelling costs will be higher but if you are happy with that then I'm happy to do the travelling! 

3) To help you find a repair technician if you live hundreds of miles away from me in Reading ;-) If that's the case I suggest you try Gledhill on 08445 679898. They now offer a repair service themselves. It's a fixed price service costing more than many of the repairs I carry out (but not necessarily all - I charge on a 'time and materials' basis), but at least you can rely on them identifying the problem and fixing it immediately using stock from the van, just like me :-) I also have a section in my Gledhill Repairs discussion forum where other technicians can advertise their services, but unfortunately very few have posted so far. It's here. (If you know of a good Gledhill technician feel free to add him, or her, yourself.)

 If my pages of common PulsaCoil faults and their symptoms and remedies don't help, I'm happy to give advice to anyone wanting it via my Gledhill Repairs discussion forum. It's here. Gledhill themselves also offer first class telephone technical support during normal office hours but it's expensive. 60p per minute to be precise. Their technical helpline number is 0906 611 0005.

Once again, thanks for visiting.
