Boiler was installed this morning, made sure there wasn't a horse tied up outside before I let him in.
Potterton Performa 28i(new) was fitted and rules and regs were followed on the orders of his boss and on Monday I will go to his company and pay £900. :cry:
Reason he could do it so cheap...
He said the newer model Potterton fits the same holes and if he keeps it down to £100 for a repair then I don't care what he uses! :D
Will let you know what happens on Friday.
I think he gets a special deal on Pottertons and is doing it as a favour for me, his going rate is a lot higher, plus all the fittings are the same so won't have any new holes to drill. :D
Panic over, found a cheaper(and better) plumber on a football site message board I go on, he actually specializes in these boilers and will arrive with a van load of spares and a new boiler if it's unrepairable.
Repair - No more than £100
New boiler fitted - No more than £900
:D
Hi guys, just had a plumber tell me I need a new boiler.
I've got a Potterton Puma Combi, the pcb has definitely blown cos of water getting to it and he says the expansion valve has gone, also the pressure valve doesn't seem to work and there's a leak coming from the back of the boiler as well...
