I have recently taken a look at my somewhat ancient boiler and while I am pleased it is managing well, I don’t think I want to chance its continued operation. I can’t afford a new boiler and I sure cannot afford the surprise bill for massive midwinter repairs. So what is the answer? I found my solution at energychoices.co.uk.
