About a week ago I had my annual boiler serviced by a professional chap who told me in no uncertain terms that the burner was rusted up and needs replacing asap. Alarm bells started to ring when he said 'I would have shown it to you if I was not in such a hurry'' and it will cost around £200.00 to fix a new one.
So after he went I decided to take a look at the burner myself, I pulled the panel off the front of the boiler and unscrewed the flash screen to take a look. The burner had a small amount of rust on one of the holes but overall very little rust. I put the boiler back and I checked that the flames were burning in a neat way through the inspection hole and they were
My question is; does the burner need replacing or was this guy trying to rip me off. Also I checked the part out to replace and it works out at around £80.00.
Would it be hard to replace, could a competent DIYer do it?
Oh the boiler is a Worcester 35CDi combination running on LPG.
