The current boiler replacement scheme is for a like for like replacement.
In a friend's instance, the water is still heated through a gravity system, where just the Central Heating side is pumped.
As a result, apart from the inefficiencies, it can mean that hot water can attain 80degsC. I feel that perpetuating the unsafe nature of a system that would retain this gravity hot water heating system, hence scalding temperatures where there are young children around, is unacceptable.
Has anyone had any experience of this scheme?
