    The Mad Drive Towards 'Energy Efficiency'

    Does anyone else consider this whole area a contradiction? Our boiler in our house keeps leaking like a fish from the heat exchanger after just 5 years. I've kept the system topped up nicely with rust inhibitor and so there are no issues with the condition of the water in the system. It's a...
