How reliable are condensing combi boilers?
We're looking into the possiblity of installing a combi condensing boiler in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
micavity's house.
If we have to replace the existing boiler, then it makes sense to consider installing central heating while we're at it - but only if he can afford the resulting rent increase.
When we worked it out, the cost of installation didn't send his rent totally through the roof, but the cost of annual maintainance was high.
The first quote I got was £75 annual maintenance or £192 for a complete maintenance contract.
THe complete maintenance contract adds a non-trivial sum per month.
So, who has a gas boiler of this kind? How reliable are they? Do you think I could get away with just the annual maintenance without ending up with too great a risk of paying a fortune for repairs?
