New Radiators first or Boiler?

[mattgriff]

Hello

Looking for some advice on which to do first.
I want to change all the radiators in the house within the next few months and will probably need a new boiler within the next few years.

Does it matter if I changed the radiators first and then the boiler a few years later or would I be better off waiting to have it done all together?

Why do you think you will need a new boiler?

I would recommend you changing the radiators when you're going to change the boiler.

Which boiler is it? The current radiators may be sized for 70 degree flow temperatures so it can be beneficial in changing them when considering a condensing boiler. If they aren't that old then changing the radiators may not be necessary.

Boiler is a Vokera mynute 15vhe.
Recently had a service and was told the fan needs replacing at a cost of around £300

It's around 8 years old so I'm told and it's one of the worst boilers you can have by all accounts.

Had a few problems since owning the house so will probably look to replace when I can.

Would like to switch to a combi when I do.

Thanks

Why would you want a combi.

No idea if it's false information told by people to convince you in buying a new boiler.

Before jumping to a conclusion, how many radiators and showers have you got in the property?

Before buying a new boiler consider in carrying out a heat loss survey too.

If your fan is working why do you need a new one? Why is the boiler one of the worst ones, did the engineer give a reason? It's a sod to service that's true but if it's working he possibly doesn't like the idea of actually stripping the boiler and servicing it. A fixed price repair from Vokera would fix the issue, £300 and depending on whether the boiler has been looked after might be a good deal.
