My boiler is over 20 years old and has finally packed in and needs replacing asap as i now have no heating.
I have one of the old huge stand up boilers in the airing cupboard and wanted to know a couple of things before replacing it:
1) How is the new boiler installed and what parts of the house will they need access to? (2 of our radiators aren't used but are plumbed in but are blocked of by furniture that can't be moved will they need access to these? and 1 of the rooms is locked and can't be accessed till my room-mate returns from America in over a month so any plumbing in there including a radiator which is off can't be accessed)
2) Will anything else need replacing i.e pipes, water tank etc. again there all 20 years old but i really can't afford to replace them and get a boiler can the boiler be fitted in to our current plumbing?
3) How much should i expect to pay for the work. i am on a limited budget and its very likely im going to have to get a loan to pay for the work and need a guide on how much i need to be thinking.
Thanks for the help i need to call someone out but if they cant get to the bits they need want to know before hand so i don't waste time
