Hi everyone,
Just after some opinions really.
Our Boiler a British Gas 80 F2 (standard boiler with tank and cylinder) installed circa 2000 hasn't skipped a beat since we moved into this house 10 years ago. Last weekend it stopped working. I have home emergancy cover, so invoked that engineer came out needed a part but wouldn't arrive until today. Skip to today the part was installed and boiler working again but they weren't happy with the air pressure switch so it needs replacing. That will be another 2 weeks and £300 out of my pocket. We have been 5 days without heating or hot water already. That is a no go.
So looking at boiler replacement I see companies like boxt.co.uk get good reviews and could install one as soon as Saturday. Has anyone used a company like this? Any other thoughts on options at this point I want hot water back asap.
If I do go that route it raises other questions about which boiler and what type. Our house is reasonably large, 4 bed, 2 showers and 14 radiators. I think it would be pushing it with a combi boiler and they are a lot more expensive but regaining the space in the cupboard and loft is appealling.
Is there anything else I should be thinking about? Just checking my sanity on what will end up being a quick decision.
