Central heating advice - urgent please

[moony]

if its paid for by the housing benefit contact them and let them know they are paying for a house that has no heating - they will soon sort it for you.

Oh ok, Thanks.
BTY, do you know the average lifespan of a central heating system? No one has come back to me on that.

How long is a piece of string?

Older boilers up to 30 years, newer ones ???

I'm not a plumber but my main system is 45 years old (pipes, radiators) Original boiler lasted 35 years. My fathers system and boiler was 33 years old when his house was sold. I think modern boilers have a shorter lifespan but others will have a better idea.

Cheap (cheaper anyway) heating solution - google oil filled radiators.

ive seen boilers last a few years and some last 50 - it depends on how well maintained it is
