We have finally had enough of our Saunier Duval combi boiler which has given us nothing but trouble. The expansion vessel, conveniently located at the back of the boiler, requiring for it to be removed from the wall first, now need replacing. It is simply not economical, so we are looking for a new one.
Was recommended a Worchester Greenstar 34CDi Classic - 18 radiators + 1 x very frequently used shower all running from it.
Was quoted ~£600 for a like-for-like replacement - well, almost. As the old one is not condensing, and there is no obvious was to connect the new one to a drain, they will have to dig a small soak pit (I think he used a different term) under one of the patio slabs immediately outside. Boiler will be supplied at cost.
What does the panel think?
- Choice of boiler (WB are currently offering 5 year parts& labour warranty)
- is this a fair cost for a replacement?
- Is the solution for the drain acceptable?
Any advice will be much appreciated.
