RESPONSE: Combination boilers; which are becoming the norm here in the U.K.
are not seasonal i.e. they also heat up the hot water throughout the year.
Having a boiler on Service Contract, also entails a yearly service. Me
thinks because the really cold weather and the faulty newfangled condensing
boilers - even German ones, are not up to scratch. My old boiler lasted 19
years and the only occasional problem was, we had to change the pump about 4
times during its lifetime. The Heat Exchangers of the newfangled contraption
corrode due to the acidity of the condensate?
