Don't buy a gas boiler. Buy oil instead, they're built like tractors and can run on the same fuel, they just don't make anywhere near as much noise. How many oil problems do you see on the forum, and how many gas problems do you see? 'nuff said.

OK then, what is the ratio of gasil boilers? Then, what's the ratio of gasil problems on this forum. There is a much greater proportion of gas boiler problems than there are oil.
