    Moved house a month ago, heating been acting up. It's got 3 zones and seems they can only run individually. If they're all on, rads aren't very hot, cold patches on them. Slight leaky flue also and pressure drops in boiler and needs to be topped up every few weeks. Anyway, to cut a long story short, gas boiler guy called yesterday, said heat exchange is fecked. House only 8 years old but he said the boiler had been poorly serviced and because of that, system is banjaxed and needs replacing. He recommends new boiler and powerflush the system to get rid of all the sludge etc.
    He emailed this quote - Ariston Clas System One with 8 year warranty, Powerflush Inc Chemicals, New primary magnetic filter (Magna clean), New Carbon Monoxide Alarm, Add Inhibitors, Commission New Boiler, Remove old boiler & Rubbish. Total cost €2500.
    That was his most expensive out of 4 options, other options had different boiler(Ariston E system) with 2 year warranty but he said this boiler is a very good one.
    How does that price sound? Is it a decent boiler? Thanks in advance.

    Don't know anything about the different brands of boiler but we had the same job done in Sept and it cost us 3k.

    Somebody from Dublin did a Worcester Bosch full flush etc filter for me. Can't remembe price but it wasn't crazy high if I remember correctly. These boilers are fantastic, I wouldn't use anything else.

    The service was also great from the lads. I'm in Kildare.

    Pm me if you need details.
