In a nutshell are modern boilers fit for purpose. Since the temp has dropped I must of had 50 calls boilers conked out.

Most within 7 years old.

Literally selling customers junk
 
If you think how much they do they get a hard life
Fire up dozens of times a day
Poor installation and freak weather causing freezing
 
I don't like combis at all never have and never will but no modern boiler is 100% reliable
 
These conditions are unusual and will test any boiler i have had a few 11/4 condsense pipes freeze up in this Siberian blast now carrying a few lenghths of 11/4 lagging and tie wraps on the van , easy money just a pain getting about the side roads are lethal sheet ice . cheers kop
