    in got rid of a 28 year old potterton boiler only last year......
  • it may last 28 years , but if direct line 400 for it better do the research and get one who suply and fit.
    buying one starts from about 600.. you need to take in account not to buy the smalles one as it may not be enough to suport the whole system, ie. if you got too many radiators etc.

    it can be removed and fited new in 1 day and has to be a gas safe guy
    pay cash if you wish , nothing wrong with paying cash, but get the 1 - instalation certificate, and 2- i think the second is safety certificate.

    you will need a Benchmark booklet fully completed and signed by a GASSAFE gas engineer if a new boiler is fitted.
