My 5 yr old Powermax 155x recently packed up. I had the guys from the Baxi Heat team come around who said that they could not fix it , too much corrosion , and would refund the maintenance warranty charge (gee thanks guys).
British Gas took £160 (fix everything including parts and labour charge) and said pretty much the same thing. Their new boiler division reckoned it would cost between £2k to £4k to replace this boiler. Oh and they can't even visit for 3 weeks.
I am now left in the position of having to replace the Powermax 155x. The problem is that the boiler is in an internal cupboard of a one bed flat in a new development with a horizontal flue (twin? ) to an external wall above the ceiling. I am told that the Flue is aluminium and if i replace the boiler with a Condensing that flue would need replacing.
Can anyone help me to find a boiler that can replace this beast without having to replace the flue. or offer any advice as to what I should do?
Many thanks
