IDEAL are up against it!!! Heat exchangers replacing

[JAH HEATING]

I won't fit intergas again

Why's that?

 

[bazzlar]

At least i have a good company nearby to do the fitting and servicing. Been going a long time.
Pretty much set on a Vogue now, they seem to modulate very low as well. Just need to pick a size now.

The size you need is relevant to the amount of hot water you require. A 32 will do most properties but if you have a few bathrooms the 40 is better

Have fitted the Logics since there release and I have had maybe two heat exchangers fail in that time. Both were under warranty so changed no problem. We check by introducing food dye into the radiator and see if it turns up in the condensate trap

worcester 30i or 32i?weve had a quote for £3660 to replace our boiler with a combination worcester with 6 replacement radiators..a new control box and thermostats on all the radiators and a magna flush..is this quote about right or are we being taken for a ride? Thanks

Eh?
check the condense, its going out there through h/ex when it gets hot

Interesting this, I've only come across 1 that has failed and presumed it was a one off but sounds like it's a regular occurrence. The 1 I seen was leaking into condensate when boiler cold, so can it start leaking when it gets hot but stop when it cools down?

Ditto have fitted them since first out and only had one hex replaced- this was a concern as it was fitted 2011, hex went 2015. But so far no more. I hope no more as have fitted 50 plus.

I have only come across 2 they say it was on the early logics time will tell i guess but if you come across a system loosing pressure for no apparent reason check the Hex out cheers kop
