My Kingfisher boiler is over 20 years old and still going strong. It has never been serviced and the only problem we had was when a rat chewed one of the wires.
A few years ago I bought a brand new identical boiler as a standby. It is still in the original box. My question is - in the event of failure of the existing boiler would a heating engineer use this as a replacement or would I be forced to have a modern one installed. The existing boiler has a conventional flu and the heating engineer who fixed the wire said the installation would not meet modern standards, in particular the 90 deg bend in the flu as it exits the boiler.
thanks
