Hi,
My Worcester 350 is needing replaced. (O ring on the heating pump has perished and I can't get the pump off as the U clip has rusted and I can't release it - tips?).
The boiler is in the far end of a 2nd floor flat and no where near drainage.
There is an overflow pipe that lets water pour out onto the garden below.
It's going to be a real mess to run a pipe to the bathroom for the fitting of a new condensing boiler.
One gas engineer who has been to quote said that standard efficiency gas combi boilers can still be sourced.
He told me that Combi's release acidic waste water and that some countries had started banning them due to the damage they can cause to sewage pipes.
Sounds perfect, I was happy enough with my current boiler efficiency and I don't trust the reliability of these new boilers (been burned by a new boiler in my last property).
I got a written quote today from the company and it lists "One SEDBUK 'A' Rated Worcester Bosch Greenstar 30CDi Standard Efficiency Gas Central Heating Boiler", which sounds like just a standard condensing boiler to me that needs a waste outlet.
So my question is can a non-condensing boiler be sourced in the UK?
Please don't reply telling me to fit a condensing. I only want to hear alternatives (eg a non-condensing) to what I already know and have been told.
Thanks!
George
