This unit replaced an old Ideal Standard cast iron boiler in a storage room. The Ideal Standard WM series unit was a bit long in the tooth, and was probably only 65% efficient.
We specified a 12Kw Worcester Bosch Ri replacement, which can achieve an efficiency of over 90% when used on a like – for – like basis.
New boiler (insulation to pipework not applied when photo taken)
The Worcester was mounted in a similar position to the old unit, but first we had to brick up the large flue aperture remaining from the previous boiler.
The next door neighbour had recently had their boiler replaced by another contractor, who had elected use cement instead of bricks! Hope it was a very cheap job!
The scene outside
A new Honeywell radio thermostat, and a new two channel timer was installed.
New Honeywell Line-of-text heating and hot water programmer
As usual, the system was comprehensively power flushed and our customer benefits from a reasonably priced, quality installation, warranted by Worcester Bosch until April 2014.
