We have an old Ideal E floor standing boiler, probably 20+ years old. This winter the radiators on the extreme ends have gone cold. There is no sludge that is worth a mention. The pump could be on the last legs.
Given the age of the boiler, I thought it may be best to go for replacement as the new boilers are supposed to be far more efficient. Do you agree? The house is occupied during the day and the boiler runs most of the time. Hence, I felt, we could save quite a bit on gas.
We have traditional, radiators and cylinder arrangement and like to keep it that way. I felt we need about 25-30 KW (5 beds, bath, shower, washing, etc). Any suggestions? Any views on Open and Sealed systems? I tried to research the subject and ended up with more questions!
Any advice would be much appreciated.
