Meet the new boiler - same as the old one

Well, not quite.  We're having another condensing boiler, as the amount of work required to swap to a combi boiler would be horrific - as we would have to have the hot water tank in the airing cupboard removed, and all the pipework capped off.

So, we have had (and accepted) a very reasonable quote from A1 Gas Force to install the new boiler.  The engineer thought that they would have to dig a soakaway as it's a condensing boiler, and were quite surprised when they found that we already had the pipework in place.

In fairness, the old (and condemned)  boiler was one of the first condensing boilers on the market, but they only really took off about 16 years ago, so it wasn't really surprising that they didn't realise what it was.

And the best bit?  It's being fitted on Thursday, so we should (hopefully) have full heating back on line on Thursday night.  It can't come soon enough for me, as I don't like getting out of the shower in a cold bathroom.

Ah well, time to call this quits, as I need to get to bed early - got to be in the playpen for 08:00 tomorrow morning.....

Back soon,

Karen
