Default Microbore CH

Hi

I am thinking of changing my boiler, the old one is approx. 20 years old and
the CH system is microbore the radiator's are new (1 year old). If I have
condensing combi boiler fitted do I need to replace the microbore pipework.
Thanks in advance.

Regards
Harry

If the pipework is adequately sized for your installation, there is no
need to replace it.

This may be a good opportunity to flush the system through clearing away
any accumulated sediment.

No.

Is the existing boiler a combi? If not, why change to a combi rather than
simply having a condensing (but non-combi) boiler which continues to supply
stored hot water?
