Im having my 11yo combi boiler replaced with a new combi....

So what do the experts reckon I'll save on gas with the new one?

Nowt? / 5% / 10% / more?

The room stat needs changing (I can do that myself) as the one fitted lies! (I guess thats 11yo as well)
Its set at 28C and no way is it that warm in here, ok its nice and warm, but if it really was 28C, i'd be sweating like a gud un!

28C is Spain hot.

If your balls are not sweating profusely the whole thing is a con.

What's wrong with your newish boiler Dave?   

[STEMO]

Yours is a vaillant, if I remember, Dave. As you know they're pretty good boilers, can't it be repaired?

Our boiler is at least 17 years old . It does play up from time to time but they are very simple and therefore easy to fix.

Well, it works , but as its over 7yo i can get a grant to replace it, grant is not by gas supplier either...

But prob costing you a lot more to run than a new one and as gas prices are rising loads 

[Sir Tigger KC]

Well if your getting a new one for free then Happy Daze! 

Mines a 27 year old Potterton Profile which glugs and burps a bit from time to time, but  it's still going strong and unless I get offered a free one will stay where it is. 

Actually, even if I was offered a free one I'd have to think about it, as the modern condensing boilers are nowhere near as reliable. 

[dave the builder]

Potterton Promax is a condensing combi ,about 90% efficient IIRC
if it's serviced and adjusted correctly ,rads balanced etc you won't see much in savings on fuel bills with a newer gas boiler .

is the grant is 100%, FREE MONEY* ,no cost to you ?
or so much off an install ? in which case a local indy may be cheaper even without a grant and just your contribution ,

Thermostat is a cheap and easy fix if it bothers you reading high 
put an accurate thermometer next to the stat and see what the temp really is 

 FREE MONEY* is not free ,someone has to pay

It also runs at low (in the red) water pressure all the time. Ive tried opening the valves underneath the boiler to let more water in, but opening the valves does cock all!

Probably been plumbed in backwards. By the landlord...
