Hi Chaps,
I've just moved into a house in Watford, and it has the notorious Potterton Puma 80e boiler. With the info on the this site I managed to fix the HW flow switch (thanks guys), and it works OK - for now.
Also, some of the rads are quite old, and a couple need moving.
I'm not sure what to do.
A) Take out british gas insurance, and keep the boiler going.
B) Replace it with a HE boiler, and get the other work done at the same time.
I guess the question is - what sort of cost is involved in fitting a replacment boiler (anyone who covers the Watford area care to advise), and changing rads (or at least fitting thermostatic valves)?
I'm really looking for cost of labour, and someone decent from the area?
What do we think?
Many thanks chaps
