Hi,
I'm new and looking for help please.
I moved into my house just over a year ago and have been told yesterday that the old-looking Concorde WRS boiler in my kitchen has a split in the heat something-or-other (Heat exchanger possibly but I'm working off the info the plumber gave to my missus, doh!).
Now then, I know this thing is old and was prepared at some point for it to give up or cause me some pain but so far it has been fine. The only reason this came about is that a Corgi chap fitted me a new gas hob and the boiler stopped working after he'd gone. I couldn't seem to re-fire the pilot light so the guy came back and got it going again this morning - and this was when he dropped his bombshell on my missus.
I recently installed a brand new and much bigger Telford copper cylinder to give me more hot water storage and would really like to simply replace the boiler, but don't know if this is possible. Which is why I'm here as you folks seem to have the knowledge. If not, would British Gas help me out of I sign up for Homecare?
I know it'll cost but I don't want my pants pulled down by some unscrupulous cowboy who has guessed my ignorance in this matter.
My overdraft is in your hands.
Many thanks.
