Hi All
Just a quick hello as I am new to the forum and typically I need some help!!!!
My boiler has been playing up for a few weeks with the pilot light going out. I eventually found the pilot injector blocked so every time the boiler tried to fire it starved the pilot of gas and the thermocouple would cut the gas off but after fixing this I spotted the boiler appearing to have a little explosion within the boiler and it looks like the gas exchange has got a leak so gas is being leaked into the boiler and eventually explodes and as the boiler is over 30 years old I think it might be time for an upgrade.
So my real question is what boiler should I go for with my work load at the moment I do not want any major work so I am after a boiler I can just replace my old one with. I have a conventional system with a cold water storage tank and a hot water cylinder which I am quite happy with. Do I need a condensing boiler to comply with the regulations or can I fit a conventional boiler? And again the main thing is a recommendation of what boiler and possibly a place to get it. It is a 3 bedroom terraced house with one bathroom.
Thanks a lot for your help
Regards Nick
