My Baxi 381rs has been in my home for 38 years . I've only replaced

it go as parts are hard to come by now. I will replace it with another
baxi boiler.


How much did you spend on insulation over that 38 years (and no, I
don't mean double glazing) ?.

The replacement won't last 38 years :-(.

Indeed. 38 years ago, Baxi made some of the best boilers available. Now
they don't.

Get one with a 7 year warranty.

I've just replaced my 30-year-old Baxi Solo with a Vaillant with 10 year
warranty, and would recommend the OP to do the same - or maybe a
Worcester Bosch.
