u need to cos all the new boilers are crap. i got a baxi boiler and its 35 years old and still in good nick .its only ever had a thermostat and a thermocouple fitted. and all these so called efficient boilers and there outputs are over exaggerated*Chuckles* We sell tons of spares for Ariston boilers, mind you, we sell tons for all the manufacturers. If you need a part, just let me know, we've only got about £3m of stock on the shelves...

Not in the slightest, I've ripped out many 35 year old plus boilers and fitted a new condensing one, then done a follow up call to be told how much they are saving on their gas. Modern boilers are more efficient, yes they are more complicated but it's not rocket science to heat a lump of cast up and pump the heat round, extracting 90% of the sensible and latent heat does however require more finesse

I can vouch for that, had our ancient Baxi Bermuda back boiler replaced just over a year ago with a modern condensing boiler and gas usage has reduced by 27%.

About 3 in 14 years, I'm an installer through and through so avoid repair work, too many diddly screws and not enough power tools
