Title: Boiler service.....much of a muchness?
Post by londonman on Aug 21^st, 2013, 9:03am

Unreliable local Warmflow engineer means I need to find someone else to service the bog-standard external boiler (non-combi).

Would I be correct in assuming that as only the burner that really is the crux of the matter, therefore pretty standard therefore any decent oil-experienced engineer could service it?

Not just the burner, the combustion chanber, flue etc should also be cleaned.

Where are you roughly we may be able to recommend

Many people have their boiler regularly and think that's all they need do. It's also worth ensuring that there is corrosion inhibitor in the system.

What's the story behind the boiler then LM, he reckons it was in a terrible condition, especially for a 2 year old boiler.
