Listening to someone extolling the virtues of a condensing boiler fitted to his parents house, combined with current oil prices and a =A32250 spend on oil since last September , has set me thinking about upgrading our 22 year old boiler. The boiler is working fine. Been serviced annually and had whatever bits it need fitted when called for, but heaven knows what the efficiency is like. Our usual plumber condemnscondensig boilers out of hand. Has fitted lots for the local council and they have been nothing but trouble. He also regards them as filthy things to have to clean compared to a standard boiler. Wouldn't have one in his own house etc. etc.
I'm being quoted about =A31650 for the job.
Question is are they worth it ? Are they troublesome? What are the best makes ?
I've gone through the archives and it is depressing reading but surely they must have some good points
