It seems that many of those gas people who come to the house to fiddle with the boilers do not understand condensing boilers very well at all, and they are often set up wrong, making them far less efficient than they are advertised. Not many people realise that condensing combi boilers never condense in when heating domestic hot water anyway, making them less efficient ( a system boiler with a storage tank does though ).

Despite turning mine down (read that link with interest) I just accidentally pressed the back of my hand on a chrome towel rad I've just installed, felt like it would take the skin off. They're bloody hot! (which is also somehow a smile of the day)

This sort of thing really hacks me off. A place I used to work said stuff like this and wouldn't turn the water temp down, so as a result everyone just had to use cold water to wash their hands. As the water temperature was too damn hot to use (and the taps were not mixed, so you couldn't control the temp that way).

If you realise that they send the techs to your house to dust off the boiler and polish the case so that they can tick the 'boiler serviced' box with the intention of selling you a new, latest 'fad' boiler. And BG are eye wateringly expensive when they install the new boiler that you didn't need anyway, it takes a long time to pay for decrease in fuel use you may or may not get when you have just paid >£2,500 for a new extremely complicated boiler, and if you decide to get Alexa or Hive controls at the same time you can double that cost.

![]() Oops I'm bordering on gripe territory. Smile is I have a new boiler with 10 year warranty from a reputable local firm now and it's warm quiet and shiny.
