Are people deaf nowadays? I have a good old system boiler, just a burner and a tank.
The pump is in the attic and there's no fan.
So silent. How do people put up with modern boilers? Whenever I'm in someone's house with a modern boiler,
I always notice the ****ing racket it's making, as loud as a washing machine.

The Viessmann we have is virtually silent when starting and running.

Yup. But then I often wonder why so many have their boiler in the kitchen
- perhaps the most used room in the house. And often where space is at a
premium.

In our case, because our kitchen is small and therefore only for cooking
and washing, not eating or sitting, so noise is unimportant;
electricity, gas and water are all already present; it is a wall mounted
boiler, high on the wall, so takes no useful space up; in any other room
it would look stupid.
