This boiler choice FAQ is nearly twice the size of the original and
has incorporated a number but not all of suggestions.


Nice work Ed.

A few odd bits that jumped out:

"As a rough rule of thumb using 2005 figures I estimate any repair of
less than £100 is worth doing. For a boiler less than 20 years old you
may want to allow a bit more on a sliding scale so that with a younger
boiler you are prepared to much more for its repair"

Seems like you need a "spend" toward the end of that.

"The condensate is slightly acidic same as fruit juice it might just rot
a metal pipe given time but not overnight."

Needs a comma or perhaps a "the" in there.

"This is not a disadvantage nearly always there is more wall space than
floor space."

"since nearly always"?

Very end of section 5 you have a embedded br tag after the end
paragrapoh tag /p - that upsets the formatting (causing the end of the
sentance to be chopped) when the font sizes are increased in Mozilla.

On the flue location bit toward the end of chapter 8, might it be worth
including the building regs minimum distance (600mm?) from a boundary as
well as your recommendation for 2.5m as a distance that ought to
completely avoid the issue?

"The third group obvious have relatively little influence"

"obviously"?

Glossary:

"A feature where the boiler can alters it power output usually to suit
conditions."

"alter"?

"The cloud of steam (actually a mist of tiny water droplets) often seen
coming out of a condensing boiler flue in cold damp weather. "

"cold dry weather" would cause a more noticable effect would it not?

"or electromagnetically bewitching the input mains water (efficacy
uncertain)." LOL - I like that turn of phrase!
