Hello
This is probably an imposable question to answer, but I'll ask anyway.
I will be moving to a house that has no central heating (apart from
warm air which I will be taking out). What I was needing to know is,
What is a decent make of boiler these days? I was thinking along the
lines of Potterton/Ideal/Glow worm? I will be looking for wall hung,
condensing, good efficiency. Not Combi, for a 4 bedroom house. vented
fully pumped system. Any clue to a good make/model/range to start
looking at. I think I would be prepared to spend about #1000 for a
good reliable boiler. Regards, Will


Under the sales of goods act I would suggest that any fridge should
last 6 years at least. So I would expect the same from boilers.
So as a corgi tradesman has to put it in I would buy it off him and
blaim him if it goes wrong.



The Sale of Goods Act does not say that an item should last for 6 years.

There is a statutory period of 6 years (statute of limitations) for recourse
to the supplier if there is a problem with goods or services purchased. It
does not guarantee in any way that the supplier will do anything about it.
For that purpose, if it eventually becomes a court matter, a test of
reasonableness will be applied.
