Understood.

However, I haven't a clue what this one cost as it was pre-installed in
a renovated property that we bought 2 years ago (although we do have
evidence that it was new at the time we moved in).

Does anyone know if a Vokera Linea 24 is expensive or not in its class?

thanks,

Well.... Discounted Heating (which is generally trade price plus a
bit) has these at £620 inc.

Pricewise this is mid range, so I would normally pursue it.

However, a couple of things.

Looking at the SEDBUK database, there have been two versions of the
Linea 24. One from 1998 to 2001, and then the 24e from 2001 to date.
I suspect that the latter is just to get it withing the minimum 78%
efficiency requirement. So.... unless you know otherwise, the
boiler could be five years old. There might be a manufacturing date
on the plate.......although you say you have evidence of newness.


It is possible that they changed from a permanent pilot to an electronic
one hence the 'e' and the small hike in efficiency.
