Hoval RS 400 Gas Boiler

[Bren]

I am a Civilian so no knowledge of Boilers really. I'm currently doing a Freelance Building Surveying role for a Charity that runs Care Homes for The Elderly.
They have a Hoval that's appx. about 30/35 years old. They have had quotes to remove and replace with Vaillant gas condensing boilers. There is a lot of other consequential work too. Being quoted £30k.
Can't the Hoval boiler just be refurbished and carry on?

Why would you. At 35 years old it's time it was retired, you'll be popular if it was refurbed and broke down in mid winter.

Boiler and circulating pump efficiency has moved forward a long way since that was installed.
As have boiler and heating controls.

Whoever is doing the design for the new boilers should be able to tell the customer the energy cost saving with the new boilers.
