Much appreciated if anyone can help me with this problem.
I am currently having problems with my 4 year old Chaff and Maury (MX 2 30 FF) which i am thinking of replacing as it seems a dog of a boiler however one installer seems adament that i have a major issue with my central heating piping.
The pipe leading to the radiators (and return) from the boiler is 22mm but then reduces to a 15mm for the rest of the system (as far as i can tell as after 2 meters or so it goes into a stud wall)
He wants to replace up to 6 meters of pipe to the 22mm incorporating at least 2 rads. In the process destroying my newish kitchen, bathroom and small bedroom.
I have had other installers saying that the 15mm pipe while not ideal will not cause the new boiler problems, just lose some efficiency whereas the installer in question stays it will knacker the new boiler up and may have led to the downfall of my Chaff and Maury.
Some more info that may be relavant - looking for a 28w Vaillant, worecester or veissmanna. Have 9 rads in the system.
Thanks for reading my post
