We currently have a WB 35 CDi RSF ii that is about 13 years old and has given good service but looks like it needs a new diverter valve and possibly heat exchanger which can probably be sorted for somewhere between £200 and £400.
My other option is to put the repair costs towards a new boiler and I'm looking at the Intergas Xclusive 36 which should be around £2K fitted.
The WB has an efficiency rating of 78% and the Intergas doesn't seem to be listed on the site but there are references of it being 89% elsewhere.
My question is in the real world does this actually pan out as the numbers suggest or are the figures just headline grabbing?
While I appreciate that the cheapest option is to repair the existing and carry on if it's likely to save £70 a year in gas along with the repair costs and leaves me with a boiler with a 10 year warranty and no future aggro then it's worth considering.
