Right - we got a new boiler installed last week (bloody expensive !!) , it worked perfectly fine for a couple of days, till we started getting loud banging noises from one of the radiators every few hours.
According to the guys who fitted the boiler, our old radiators can't handle the pressure of the new boiler and will therefore all have to be replaced (we have around 11 or 12 radiators in the house)
Surely they should have known this before fitting the boiler that all the radiators will have to be changed as well, we haven't had a quote yet for the radiators but I can imagine that it won't be cheap - I wouldn't be that annoyed if they told me initially and included it in the quote ! Also I don't think its very safe having a radiator in the bedroom which looks like its about to explode!
Here's a picture to show difference between our normal radiators and the one that looks like its about to explode !
Is this a common thing to happen when getting a new boiler installed?
