I didn't say that a condensing boiler is technically quieter then a
non-condensing. My last boiler was 28 years old and suffered from bad,
noisey kettling. In that respect a new boiler is quieter.

Oh - I'm not disputing that. However, kettling isn't inherent in a non
condensing boiler - it's a fault.

I thought kettling was more to do with the age of the boiler, in so much
that they all fur up eventually and are then prone to kettling?

My new boiler warms up quicker presumably due to it firing up on all
cylinders in its modulating mode, which a lot of old boilers may not
have.

Modulating means *reducing* the heat output from maximum.

I'm sure it does mean that. But doesn't it regulate the power too? If an old
boiler fires up only in 1st gear, a modulating boiler can use several
gears...thus increasing the heat output? Just an analogy.


Additionally, due to our system being modified with the new
boiler installation, our boiler warms up the house quicker.

Well yes. But this has nothing to do with condensing or non condensing
boilers, that's all.
