I am not sure of the Regulations but we had new central heating put in last year and had to have the water tanks ect removed from the hot cupboard.We have a small radiator put in the cupboard so it still gets warm in there.We also have a radiator in the bathroom. The good thing about it is --the bills have halved since having it done. C xxx |

erm, well, I'm rather hoping you're being duped, 'cos I don't think I could afford to replace my boiler if I have to change my tank and remove the radiator in my bathroom for a heated towel rail as well!!? Any trust worthy plumbers out there to confirm or deny this is what you have to do!? Nanna-Moo ;-) |

Thanks for your responses, McAnne, Nanna and Diana. It seems quite ridiculous that as the old boiler (touch wood furiously) is still working that we might end up keeping an efficient, possibly dangerous boiler rather than getting it replaced. Words fail me, lol. Marion |

I think you'll find its for real sadly!! Its all to do with the new electrical laws and what can and can't be done! |

Can't answer your question, but I would strongly advise seeking a second AND third opinion. Never ever get just one quote for any job like that - if possible ask a friend or neighbour to recommend someone reliable .... |

Our central heating boiler is at least and probably more than 25 years old so thought it was about time that I investigated the cost of a new one before the old one gives up the ghost. A representative from a local plumbing company has been to give an estimate and I now find that: The boiler has to be a condensing boiler – ok fair enough. I can’t have a copper cylinder in the airing cupboard this has to be replaced by some new ultra efficient thing which will actually stop any heat escaping so therefore airing cupboard will become cupboard. Can’t have radiator in bathroom working off hot water system so therefore it will not heat when central heating is switched off in the summer. Solution, heated towel rail – more expense. I can’t just have the boiler replaced without this other work being done – is this right or am I being duped? Any comments would be appreciated. Marion |
