    Getting a Second Hand Boiler fitted

    I've had the PCB replaced twice, and supposedly they're the new "improved" model, the gas valve and the thermo sensor. I was not convinced about the repairs as I still had issues following these. I really need a reputable plumber in the Stamford, Lincs area that has some recommendations.

    Getting a Second Hand Boiler fitted

    No, it just adds to and gives the impression that I'm likely to get ripped off if I try to get this boiler fitted Given the cost to replace the boiler, it makes more sense to try and get it repaired - I don't really see anything funny about it - just a sensible choice given the facts that...

    Getting a Second Hand Boiler fitted

    I think it would be a risk I was willing to take - I suspect that this potterton would cost me more in the long run with on-going repairs. I know the boiler is good and works, my radiators are fewer and smaller. I should add that the replacement boiler has the original manufacturer's fitting...

    Getting a Second Hand Boiler fitted

    In what way is it illegal? ( Sorry, I'm one of those anal type of people that needs to understand the issues surrounding a problem - just in my nature ;) ) Given that it is less than a year old it must surely comply to current regulations for a gas appliance. If it meets that criteria, what...

    Getting a Second Hand Boiler fitted

    Hi I've done a quick search and not really seen a definitive answer to this ... My current boiler, a Potterton Suprima 40 ( crap ) keeps tripping my mains as soon as I switch it on and has already been repaired a number of times. I've been offered a practically brand new boiler from a...
