The pilot light is forever going out on the one we have so he said he
sis replacing it. We have to light the pilot about 4 times a day,

Beware he doesn't change it to a Worcester
otherwise you'll be re-lighting it 20 times a day.

Condensing boilers use less gas than non condensing, meaning lower bills

efficiency is about the only good point! the bad points are the crappy hot

Total tripe!

more expensive repairs/imho(limited experience)

Total tripe. A condensing boilers is the same as anon-condensing except a
larger heat exchanger.

and from what ive heard more frequent repairs.

Total tripe.

i love my system! nice big fat bath full of red hot water! cost alot to
run tho!

You deserve high bills.

Best you don't suggest anything and you know sweet nothing about boilers.
