Hi all,
Our logic+ 30 combi has been losing pressure slowly for awhile, a local gsr plumber looked at it today and said the main heat exchanger looks like it has a pinhole as there is a constant drip into the condensate trap about every 3 seconds with the boiler fully isolated and switched off.
He also says the flue manifold looks like it has a leak due to build up on the outside of it.
He said he doesn't really deal with ideal boilers so wouldn't be interested in repairing it, but he didn't charge me for looking as he lives round the corner so that's fair enough.
Looking online a new main heat exchanger is about £400 plus whatever a gsr plumber will charge to fit or a reconditioned unit is £145. Unfortunately it's 18 years old so Ideal won't do a fixed price repair.
The boiler works fine apart from needing topping up once or twice a week.
I'd expect a new combi boiler to be at least £2000 so would you be looking to fit a new boiler or get it repaired?
Thanks,
Chris.
