Hi, my gran has a potterton prima 30f, what safety features do these old boiler have, if electrics goes the solenoid goes, if the gas stops what safety features does this boiler have for gas. thanks
 
you mean if the gas supply drops ? if so boiler would lock out / not work
 
No lockout on the prima, it'll just keep trying to light.
 
thanks mountain man, if electrics goes solinoid shuts, if gas goes it will try to relight until gas resupplied. is that right thanks.
 
just wondering if they are safe being old boiler are they fitted with safety features, or time for a new one.

there you go if he said that your fine, but nothing stopping you from getting a quote (for a new one and maybe ask your service guy to install a co2 detector

Surely you mean a CO (Carbon Monoxide) detector
 
If you're worried get it checked out by a gsr. All you need to know is whether it's safe or not. The rest is down to us as gsr's to worry about.
