My regular boiler has packed up and I'm weighing up replacing with a new regular boiler vs converting over to a combi. I'd prefer to go for the combi but my only worry is the risk of leaks on pressurising the system.
Most of the pipework and radiators are from the 1960s. I've got nice tiled and wood flooring downstairs, so I'd be pretty guttered if I ended up having to rip up the downstairs floors to track and trace a leak or replace the central heating pipework.
Can anyone give me an idea of what the likelihood of an issue is on this age system? Am I opening a potential can of worms, or just being overly cautious?
