Hi all,
So our 13 year old Ideal ISAR HE24 has had it's 20th+ repair under a boiler insurance system we set up as soon as the warranty ran out.
It's had no end of problems (I know of them from reading various reports when ours started going wrong!)
We've just had yet another part replaced (the radiators were getting hot when the hot water was being requested) and the engineer guy said the boiler needs replacing, as it has rust problems.
We, of course, got the original boiler and radiators through the warm home/grant system and even though the boiler is 13 years old and bordering on uneconomical to repair, we can't get another free one through any grant that I can find, or any discounted boiler either
So I was wondering, what would you recommend in terms of a replacement?
Ideally I'd like to run a shower off a new boiler at some point, and we do have a bath (3 bedroom semi bungalow)
So I'm thinking I need a 28-32Kw boiler so we get better hot water performance. (I think the HE24 is 24kw?)
We were quoted £2495 (Inc VAT) to have a Worcester Bosch 32CDI fitted, including a 10 year warranty, but I've done a quick search here and apparently those aren't recommended?
