Oil Boiler died - suggests for replacement ?

[10051550]

My Worcester 15/19 is dead , the water jacket has rusted through in multiple places

So the question is go for another worcester or something different ?

Any recommended suppliers ?

Intergas, no fan, air pressure switch, no plate to plate or diverter valve. Less to go wrong.

LMFAO!! Aye, & the Intergas oil burner is that small it doesn't even exist!!

Go for a Firebird mate, they're made in Paddyland, but they're great wee boilers and with a Riello burners you'll not go far wrong.

Have another Worcester, 5 yr warranty from an accredited installer.

Investigate whether the system has been pumping over, or has leak, to cause the rusting.

I've fitted a couple of Mistral oil boilers, no problems yet but perhaps the more experienced Oil fitters may have more knowlage of them... They are local to you too, made in Telford.

You don't happen to have any trees in your garden that you can chop down do you??

thanks all for replies

Take a look at air source heat pumps. 12kw
Will be more economical to run than oil.

He he he... And the output of a 12kW airsource at an ambient temp of minus 10 is????.....

Will be more economical to run than oil.

And will not heat your radiators to more than 50C. You can sit & watch the leccy meter spin round like a hamster on a wheel, when it hits -16C this winter...........

ASHPs what a pile of sh.te!!!

Answer to above = 60 watts

A Grant Vortex would make an excellent replacement Boiler - another paddy but also the most efficient oil fired boiler on the market

As has already been mentioned - check your system design to make sure the F&E tank is not pumping over, it is not common for "multiple corrosion holes to appear in a 15/19 !

Basically get your installer to check that the circulation pump, feed & expansion pipes are connected in the correct order. Your boiler problems could be a result of the circulation pump pumping over into your F&E tank & causing air to be introduced into your system.
