Hi All
First post after a few months lurking.
I have a Potterton Performa 24 Combi Boiler which needs a new Primary heat exchanger fitting. I had a plumber from a "reputable company" come round yesterday to tell me that I needed a new primary heat exchanger which would cost me £500 for the part and a full day's labour and I was therefore better off buying a brand new boiler......Yeah, right! A new heat exchanger costs £100 max and fitting should take no more that 2.5 hours surely. I'm a competant DIY'er and have undertaken many tasks from electrics to mechanics but I know when to get a pro in too. I am going to buy the new heat exchanger myself but need a RGI to come fit it for me and thought I'd ask on here. Any London engineers want a private job???
