    New Boiler

    Mehran, I must admit I am leaning towards the Intergas option, I really like the simpicity of design, and have discovered an outlet 10 miles from me. A couple of questions for you, In the installation manual it states If all radiators are equipped with thermostatic or radiator valves, an...

Fair point, however the length of warranty whether it be 3 or 5 years...

    New Boiler
