New boiler 30kw Suggestions / prices, please ??
rich83:
Id go new boiler rather than that repair. We have a Worcester 30CDi and its ran pretty much flawlessly for 6 years. I say pretty much, because we have had the pipe freeze a few times but thats not the boilers fault.

I find this site spot on for answering my plumbing questions

No joining up needed, just ask your question and they'll give the answer - they pointed me to a parts place for a fan third of the price I was quoted elsewhere.

They also have the answer to your freezing problem Rich - a retro fit kit from Worcester with a video if I remember correctly

We paid approx £1000 for a Worcester Combi (can't remember the KW rating) for the gf's victorian house last year, fitting was about another £1000 on top.
But the latter price varies enormously depending on the state of the existing installation and any pipework required. Our install was expensive because she needed the gas feed pipe uprating to 28mm at the meter, then 22mm from there to the boiler - one end of the house to other. It was a long expanse of piping that had to go over an RSJ. It just depends what the pressure drop is at the boiler. It took them 3 days and were very experienced BG engineers.
Boiler makers won't honour the warranty if the pressure drop is borderline or under the min requirements, so I hope your gas lines aren't 15mm!
If you are lucky and your installation is out with the old, in with the new, you'll only be a looking at half a day's labour.

Thanks for all of the replies - have BG coming to give me a quote tomorrow (Tuesday). It should be a straightforward old combi out; new one in, in same place, pipework all ok, but I'm betting it will be north of £2k, even with their 10% off promo - I'll update after they've been.
Cheers everyone
