Looks like the end is nigh for my old Myson oil boiler, unless I can
find a replacement burner unit. It's 25 years old so I guess it's about
time. I want an outside 15 - 20 kW boiler, to free up kitchen space,
avoid having the flue lined and have an easy route for the condensate.

There have been plenty of threads about the relative merits of different
makes of gas boiler. Does anyone have any thoughts on condensing oil
boilers? What are the potential problems in an outside installation? I
won't be fitting it myself but would like to be armed with knowledge
when I have people in to quote.

Thanks in advance

I have a warmflow bluebird in my garage at the moment and have had no
real issues with it. If I can't go to gas in the future will be
thinking on this.

Which model of burner is yours fitted with? I have a couple of Riello
burners in East Yorkshire and ebay often has various oil burners for
sale

I have been trying to get a Riello second-hand. I have even asked Riello
to suggest a new model that will match, but they seem reluctant, and
come out with the usual, 'Change to a new boiler'. No doubt your name
suggest what you think about that! Could you please email me with
details of the burners that you have?
