The reason no one mentioned the pipe size previously is due to the fact your old boiler may have been fine on its 15mm run or it may be a bad install however new condensing boilers should always be run on 22mm.
These annual servicing confuse me.WHO plucked the figure ANNUAL out, and WHy.Does any boiler really require a yearly service, why not 18 months, 2 years.Is it a ploy. I have my car serviced every year, don,t have to go to garage I bought it from for warrantee, thats the law.My car says oil change every 2 years or x miles.others 1 year or x miles.Waratees are the easiest thing for ANY company to renage on.I know from experience, and I bet everyone on this blo has had trouble trying to claim under warantee, only to be shown small print.NO can do.They are thinking of 2 yearly MOT,s here. Been that way abroad for years, not called MOt though, same thing.I wouldn,t buy anything just because it has a long warantee, usually they are not worth the paper they are printed on.EU law says 2 years on all white goods, try telling currys/argos/et al that.A reasonable time is law, how longs that with a boiler,serviced or not. Just a thought for anyone. like me , contemplating changing boiler.OR anything.They are not for our benefit, but for the manufactures, to renage on because it suits them.The OP must have just had last of combis fitted.I thought 2005 was cut off date for non-condensers.5 years old and needs a new one.So much for servicing and warantees .10 years and gov pays to scrap em.As a company I point blank refuse to break down labour and materials
If we supply and fit the boiler then we remain responsibile for it under the warranty period .... as a WAI for worcester that is 5 years but as other posts have said it must be serviced every year and I think that applys to any boiler thats got a warranty even if only 2 years
When people ask for a breakdown, I say never asked to see there wage packet before starting the job ... youve asked for a quote .... youve got one ... just say yes please or no thank-you

Hi chesketh, I , like you ,will be looking for quotes for a boiler change.first thing I do when getting any quote from TRADESEN is put up a long bar outside the house , so cowboys can tie their horses up to.There,s lots around, and where I live they 10 a penny.Charge the earth.Luckily I know some good ones, word of mouth.That,s my rule of thumb.Always. There,s good and bad in all trades.Buyer beware. Just like on here, you have to sort the wheat from the chaff. HNYThanks
i think, maybe what I should have been asking (and prob what I meant), was what the boiler was, and whats included in the price. Not having dealt with heating engineers for a long time, all I wanted to know was if this was a resonable price, not as some posters have suggested, a public sector moron wanting something for nothing.......
I will ask these questions Tues, when hes likely to answer the phone, and then get a couple more quotes. Shouldnt be too hard I would have thought, to run 22mm pipe, as its 22mm behind the cooker, and the boiler is opposite this, it seems the orig installer reduced the gas feed to 15mm as thats what this boiler takes, and its less than 2m from the appliance.....
