it is advised to change your boiler if over 15years old ..so your saying they should keep it until its 26years old ..

the 13 years of extra gas used would have proberly pay for a new boiler ..

You really should pay attention!

The post says it will probably last another 13 years and then suggests when/if the extension goes ahead might be a good time to change it;)



Could you give us the cost of the extra gas the boiler would consume in this period, with a fair allowance for inflation of course as opposed to the cost to change a perfectly good boiler now?

Quite often an extension gives an oppurtunity to upgrade a boiler at reasonable cost and minimal disruption.

Far better that the OP concentrates on upgrading the controls to the existing system to benefit from saving now, when the oiler is changed these upgrades will still be in place.

I wouldn't panic yet the old concord still has another 13 years in it

Perhaps the heating could be upgraded when the extension is built?

this is what you put .

i dont think you could possiblly say this is correct without looking at the boiler ...i have been to these that have had waters leaks that need changing after 10years ..

You mean you've never heard of the famous Mr Richard Puller - MD of Puller Plumbing International out of Glasga?? Mostly to be found on the Plumbers Talk section of the forum provided by a well known trade counter company whose name has something to do with turning fixings.

He has a rather low opinion of BG engineers I'm afraid.

Sorry - off topic! I'll get me coat then!

I really don't know what I am talking about. So I thought I would post here for the kind people on MSE to help (if you would be kind)

We had the annual service, next day heating wouldn't start. BG engineer said heating wouldn't start because thermostat tripped and reset. He also said that there was a break in the seal.

He has flagged it as use at own risk (carbon monoxide detector sitting exactly next to it) and booked an appt for us for bg to sell us things. He said that the model of our boiler stopped being made in 1984.

My question - would a boiler marked as use at own risk qualify as working for scrappage? Also, how easy is it to find someone other than BG to quote as I don't know exactly where to start. I like the thought of being able to deal with someone who I can chase and get things sorted out and I am not sure about independents.
