Replacing Potterton PrimaF

brosmi

Im looking to replace a Potterton PrimaF boiler (60F) with a new gas boiler.
PrimaF is causing problems and now 16years old.

I have about 12 radiators in 4bed-semi. Can anbody recommend a reliable boiler ?

Vissmann, Worcester bosch, Valliant, mack sure your system is cean and flush if needed, if you don't you will be lucky to see 5years, Gary

What about Ideal ? Any reason why you dont mention them ?

I'm replacing a Suprima 100 with 15 rads & wanted to understand whats the best high efficieny condensor boiler to go with

The three manufactures i have advised have very good reputations and they are boilers i would happily have in my own house, i wouldn't have an ideal boiler as i don't feel the build quality is the same, but they do cost more than the ideal. This is just my opinion and i base it on repairing boilers for the last 20 years, Gary

You will most likely have to replace your boiler with an condensing boiler
While there have some misinformation concerning these boilers; as to the amount of money you will save’ on your gas bill’ this will only happen if the boiler operates in condensing mode for most the time
It would be better to undersize your boiler’ in order to maximise this saving
It will mean’ that it will take a little longer to heat up your house from cold’ and that’s about the only difference’ that it will make’ to the comfort level; but will make a difference to your gas bill

Inlet to my PrimaF boiler leaked over a few days when no-one was in the house. Flooded the boiler :-( Anyone recomend a good plumber in Dublin 3?
