Combi Bolier on the blink

Andy_Girling

My Combi Bolier (Chaffetoux) has again gone on the blink, 3rd time in succesive years, and last year the repair man, said that it was probably on it's last legs, therefore I am seeking some advice on how much a new Combi Bolier would be, I have a guy form British Gas coming in to give me some quotes, but would really appreciate some advice, on what anyone would have to give.
For the Record I have a 3 bedroomed house, with Radiators in every room, and does anyone recommend a good Boiler Make, and if it's just a replacement Boiler I need, How much should I expect to Pay, Thanks for looking.

One of the problems that most of us encounter when changing a boiler is that the regulations have changed a great deal in very recent years and in most cases it is not a straight 'one for one' replacement. The regulations of the flue, supply, ventilation etc etc are far more stringent and a Corgi registered fitter cannot turn a blind eye to these regulations.

I have little doubt BG will be the most expensive quote. They always seem to insist on the radiators being flushed at huge extra expense. They say it is essential - I have no idea if this is accurate or a sales ploy?

The trouble with recommending a make of boiler is that an excellent manufacturer of 10 years ago might be rubbish now(and vice versa) and you will only find out in a few years time.

Sorry for a negative post.
