Gas Boiler Troubles
Gas Boiler Troubles
My boiler has been slowly killing itself for a while,
first no hot water, so replace the diverter actuator, worked only warm water which still takes about 5 mins to come through
turn itself on during night, the central heating that is,
and now making tapping noises even boiler not in use,
ive given up on repairing it, and going to start saving for a new one before the winter approaches.
Anyone know of anywhere, or anyone can one cheap?
already financially struggling and this is going to be a big bill, fitting is no problem, my dad does that, just the boiler itself.
cheapest I can get is 400 from local plumber which is a gloworm boiler 24kw, which is pretty cheap, but if i can gt one even cheaper that would be ideal
thanks in advance !
Bet Dean will be able to help yo!!
Yep think Dean will be your man on this one
Only thing though I think going for the cheapest boiler is probably a false economy - best to get a quality one that'll last longer and be more efficient.
Dean will be able to tell you when hes finally online. I suppose its one way of getting the cheapest, but what you then need to do, is see if there are any better boilers in a similar price range (which dean would know). If you get a really bad one (i know your on a tight budget), then you may end up buying a new one a few years down the line.
thanks guys, I wait Dean ! you seem to be the man !
theres this one on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-Ferroli-Optima...4150fe7265
but only 18kw not sure if thats enough for a three bedroom terraced?? A rated as well and its ferroli not sure if decent company?
not sure where dean is? must be very buys !
Hes coming to reply now, although if your dad is going to fit it, i thought he had to be a registered fitter, otherwise its illegal. (Thought it was also illegal to fix them yourself if your not a registered fitter, as small mistakes can mean big consequences.)
I thought anyone can fit it as long as it is then inspected afterwards?
yh you must be gas safety registered to fit boilers, my dad does fit them and if qualified to fit them, but not very experianced, (just got into the trade) he fits what ever the customers wants really, as he just fitted a glowarm today at a customers house, whilst I hung all the radiators. he doesnt much about boilers really just fitted them lol
Dean what boiler would recommend? for a 24kw? and what price would I be looking at?
Looked a valliant ones which obvioulsy must be good as the price is wayy high
