The engineer is coming tomorrow so I will let you know what is said. My concern is that the fault can`t be found now that it has fired up again.

I've got an Ideal Classic NF40 boiler which has been installed for about 15 years. On Xmas day it was off for several hours but then wouldn`t ignite when turned on. It eventually started up about 2 hours later and has worked fine until last Friday when again it wouldn`t start up. Suddenly...

So what could someone be expected to pay for supply and install of a decent boiler for a 3 bed detached house. I currently have an Ideal Classic NF40 installed from new about 15 years ago. Is a combi boiler the more favoured install these days for houses. My only experience of them is when...

This sounds right as I recently had the same problem which was resolved by replacing the fan. I know this is of no use to the OP who did request advice some 4 years ago!! I came upon this thread as I was searching on the Ideal Classic NF40 to see if it is G rated.

Why is it a scam? The government are offering £400 back. Are you suggesting that the supplier will add £400 to the install or that the costs of recuperating the money paid for the boiler and install would outweigh the refund given? Please explain. Thanks.

£3K???? Decision made. Current boiler staying until it dies :D

Reason for the consideration of a new boiler was a fault the other day which required a new part, now installed by BG under my Homecare agreement, and a comment by the service engineer last year that it might need changing in the near future. In addition, I wondered how much more efficient a...

Thanks ub7rm for your feedback.

Thanks - I can now see there is plus and minus`s and I appreciate the time taken by all to highlight and reply. Cheers

Yes - Thanks

Guys, I just needed some advice and you`ve kindly provided me with your help. Lets not turn it into a war.

Ive obviously been quite fortunate so far. Mind you, on reflection, I had a really loud noise everytime the water or heating clicked on. BG said that it was the central heating pipes that had furred up and the whole system would require flushing which they did not cover. I did explain that...

No there is a gap of about 2.5"

Yes the top and bottom are completely open. Its an empty cupboard and the door just hides the boiler. What does NCS stand for?

For the same reason that I couldn`t have full surround sound! Wife doesn`t want unsightly speakers and, in the case of the kitchen, boiler on display!

Thanks. Glad that is the case. Looking at a lot of new build properties they all seemed to have the boilers on display.

I can only comment on BG as experienced, I can see from some of the responses that they are not everyone's cup of tea! I live in Bedfordshire so if anyone knows of a reputable installer I would be very pleased to receive a name / number. In my earlier post I enquired about my current...

Yes I do and I didn`t accuse anyone on here of being a disreputable tradesman. I am very grateful for the advice that people on here provide.

My current boiler is situated in my kitchen and sits behind a kitchen door to disguise it. Is it correct that this doesn`t meet current regulations and that the boiler should be on view without any obstruction?

This very true and I am so suspicious of getting in any tradesman because you hear so many horror stories. The cowboys drag down the good honest tradesman with them.
