So one or two of you may have read my older thread about getting my boiler replaced. The plumber recommended a Firebird (in the garage, non-combi oil) and it heats the house just fine, though heavy on the oil.
However, I’ve checked with a couple of other people who have Firebirds, and their consumption is similar to mine. My cousin, who also has one in England, reckoned Firebirds were the best… anyway, I had a different plumber round today to look at putting in proper heating controls, new rads/TRVs. Room stat etc etc.
He didn’t actually throw up when he saw the boiler – I asked him what was up, and he said they were a heap of sh***, worst in the world, and I should have got a Grant.
Any plumbers have any opinions on this, based on actual experience?
Thanks
