Modern combi boilers!!!

[hammers4spanner]

In a nutshell are modern boilers fit for purpose. Since the temp has dropped I must of had 50 calls boilers conked out.

Most within 7 years old.

Literally selling customers junk

If you think how much they do they get a hard life
Fire up dozens of times a day
Poor installation and freak weather causing freezing

Been installed fine literally just a cold snap and ping

 

[Scott_D]

Frozen condensates or part failure?

 

[hammers4spanner]

Right mixture

 

[quality]

I don't like combis at all never have and never will but no modern boiler is 100% reliable
