 Boilers - Bromptonaut
Our slightly less ancient 1998 Baxi was serviced on Saturday. It's old but solid and reliable and we can still get parts. Discussed 'what if' briefly with the Baxi guy and I think we'd replace like/like.

A heat pump would not, I think, work without replacing microbore pipes and possibly some rads too.

A combi might be more efficient than like/like would be a lot of messing with plumbing and, unless we re-sited the boiler, would trade a delay on hot water in the kitchen for a wait for the shower to warm up in our en-suite.

Curent one's all good though for now. The tech suggested we replace the flue fan as the bearings are getting noisier than they should be. Domestic and General will cover it. Heating's the one thing I still have insurance type cover for. Anything else I can wait and/or replace for less than £600 but fast track when the heat goes off is worth paying a bit for.
