Gas boiler woes...

Options
So I have a very old boiler providing hot water and central heating for my small three-bed house.

When it had its annual service recently, the plumber reported that it was leaking carbon monoxide and so condemned it. Should I believe this? After all, the house has CO alarms that have not been triggered, and last year everything was fine.

Anyway, the quote for a new combination boiler and associated labour is £2100 plus VAT. And there is the disturbing warning that:


As the existing system is very old and will be changing to a sealed system the pressure will increase and due to the age of the radiators we cannot guarantee that the radiators will not need replacing. We will only know after we have run the system if there are any problems. Any issues will be discussed once we complete
the installation.

Do they really need to change to a sealed system?
