    Can anyone link to where I can buy one of the below? How much roughly. All I can find online are full outside boilers. I only want this part of it.

    Thanks,

    Most of the major plumbing shops will have them. However, you should get your service guy to source it, It will need to be setup to suit the boiler in any case.

    BTW. Why do you need a new one. I don't think I ever came across one that couldn't be fixed, except one that was under water for a while.

    as wearb says above

    why do you need a new burner its only 6 years old

    well worth repairing unless motor and pump are goosed

    He thinks pump is gone. He said easiest to replace and then hold the old one for parts or fix the old one for spare. I just want it fixed fast.

    What set up would be needed to suit boiler? Assumed it was more a plug and play almost.

    How much should the full unit be roughly?

    If it’s just the pump it’s overkill to replace the whole thing. A pump is about €80, the complete burner is more like €270. I don’t think you will see the benefit of having a spare burner lying around for years.

    The pump pressure and air needs to be set using special equipment. Make sure whoever you get is equipped to do this or it’s a false economy.

    Have your oil tank checked for water while you are at it - it’s one of the big causes of pump failure and the new one will go just as quick if oil is contaminated.

    He only thinks it's gone??? Did he put gauges on it to check for sure?


    I'd be a bit wary of someone that has advised you as he has.

    easy to check pump and replace it

    but as stated above already no point putting on new pump if the cause of failure isnt known

    water in tank or entering through sight tube and you are back to square one again

    did he dip the tank for water using water finding paste
