This is silly. There is no way that condensing boiler are double the
price.


Its an Ideal Mexico Super CF4140 - 140,000 BTU - 41kw £872
v
Keston C55 (55Kw) £ 1,548.89
or the C40 (40Kw) at £ 1,360.90

(Prices I've got from pumbworld which don't correspond to the prices

quoted
in the installation which are up by about 10-20% which makes the gap

bigger)

The Ideal Mexico is not a modern design of boiler it's conventionally
flued - probably the only improvement in the last 25 years is electronic
ignition - and maybe not even that.


25 years? Try 33 years. It came out at the time of the 1970 Mexico world
cup, hence the name. The Morris Marina (what a dog) was not even introduced
when it came out. How they have been making this clunker for all this time
I find amazing.

I'm not even sure that the Mexico would comply with part L.


Just. 78%. This low limit is rising soon.
