I have been offered a Halstead Ace High Boiler at a good price, but are they reliable?

Thanks
Titch :)

    Hi
    The reason you are offered it at a good price is that it is non condensing and therefore not much good to anyone.IMO not much good anyway.
    You are required to have condensing fitted (except in certain circumstances).
    Save your money and get a Worcester, Vaillant, for example.

    If its not a condensing combi it might not be worth your while.
