Help with a Ideal standard concord 50 boiler

[Hugh Jaleak]

The better boilers prove to be more reliable, few fitted now will last as long as long as the old beast you have! Fanned flue is the norm now, the flue 's are about 4" diameter and use a fan to expel the waste gases. (Some making good of the wall where the existing flue exits may be required.)

Unless you have exceptional reasons why not, then a condensing (High Efficiency) boiler is required, these extract more heat from the gas used compared with the older types.

a new Lamborghini Extrema 38C Combi favoring the lambo

this is a public forum, anybody can post any old guff, be it in good faith, mis guided info, blind loyalty to a specific company or just to be a troll.........

the "lambo" has F U C K all to do with the Italian supercar maker

any independent RGI who offers to install this boiler should be asked politely to remove himself from your property

try a few other independents

or a new Lamborghini Extrema 38C
Combi
what do you guys think??

Yes, but on the bright side, they're available in red, silver, black or white. I kid you not!

If you stray too far away from Worcester, Vailant or Remeha, or perhaps budget options like Main, you are asking for trouble. Go over the 7 year g'tee with a fine toothed comb, and don't forget you will still be sitting in the cold waiting for the engineer to turn up in his Gallardo service van.

All imasking for is a little help and advise, is that to much to ask for from a "public" forum ????
I'm really not that stupid to think it had as you so politely put it f@*k all to do with a car!!!!! So give some credit!!!!
If you have nothing constructive to say please don't bother.
Sorry if you may think this is a bit harsh but all I'm looking for is help in a mine field I'm not familiar with.
So thanks!!!!!

 

[glasgowgas]

you asked for advice, i am trying to give it

the Lambo combi is an unproven boiler in a very proven market

top rated (not by me,but my peers on this forum)

W Bosch, Vaillant, Atag, Intergas, Remeha, Baxi, Potterton, Vokera, Ferroli,Ideal,Main to name a few

old one is probably reapirable. CO is off the scale because it hasnt been cleaned thouroughly. Probably the burner gauze is clogged up. Boilers dont produce lots of CO just because they're old. So you may need a gas valve a case seal and someone to clean it who knows what they're doing.

 

[hunterforce]

Well going on what im being advised it will now be either Worcester Greenstar 42CDI of Worcester Greenstar 37CDI, the only differance is the flow rate as far as i can see.

the controls seem to make a differance, would that be the timer i have above my boiler right now???, i seem to thing these are now intergrated within the boiler now, is that right?

 

[glasgowgas]

get the W Bosch inbuilt RF stat (optional extra) to control your heating requirements
