Hello all. We have a maison secondarie in the Lot. Had boiler problems last time we were there. Ok for first 5 days and then wouldn't stay alight. It's a Viessmann oil boiler. I thought it was the pump so purchased a new one but still had the same problem ( lesson learned ) Called the plombier who spent about an hour with us ' setting up ' the boiler and it worked fine. Asked if I could pay by cheque and he said no and mentioned the word gratuit and small piece of work and asked me to sign a form. I wondered if there was some sort of government scheme which would reimburse him but was surprised as we aren't resident. Back in uk now and have received a facture for Recherché de la panne Depennage chauffage + reglage bruleur 160,50 euros incl tax. This seems a lot of money. What do others think please ? Thanks all
