boiler help. potterton performa 24 eco HE

[kevineaton]

yeah i did say to him....this is going to fix the problem, right? and he said yes. to be fair he';s spent a few hours trying to fix this stalling issue for free (ive paid for the parts) and changed a bunch of sensors but its still not right,.

 

[kevineaton]

apparatly id need the flue replacing if i go for a new boiler which would add a lot of money. if id known it was going to be this expensive to begin with i would have changed it, but its kinda crept up in waves if you know what i mean.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Does the flue go through the wall / any chance of a pic ?

 

[kevineaton]

it goes through a toilet in a tunnel. i cant get a pic for you at the moment as its in my old house that i rent out. (yes im a capitalist pig landlord....of the small variety)

 

[kevineaton]

to be honest, ive thrown that much at it already, most of the insides are new now, another £300 to sort it is better than throwing that all away?

Fair enough yes would cost some and would cause some damage but it's not hard

That's something you need to decide/ weigh up with the age of the boiler

yeah ..i run an IT company and my customers often have the same dillema....keep it going or draw a line. its an expensive line, and its probably just something cheap that need changing?? ....is there a market for nearly new heat exchangers??

 

[ShaunCorbs]

There's always someone who will buy it given the time on eBay

 

[kevineaton]

true... i'll see what potterton say. appreciate all your help guys. if you need IT help, let me know...
