    Great to see your presence again Ollie. I find greater satisfaction into bringing a boiler back to life, even if it is a heap. I question what other heating and plumbing engineers will do once there's a decline in gas boilers sales. Will they continue to rip them out and replace them? If so for what?
    Too many robust boilers are ragged off the wall and replaced. When they can quite easily brought back to life. Hope there's more to follow. .👍

    I'm nursing a semi chub right now at the mere thought of a new heatinggeek video.

    I have a modern digital boiler ,hooked up to a 1960s stylee rad system ( council )
    i cant believe the cost its 77p to switch on the CH & around 2-12 p every so often after that
    if you leave it on overnight its between a fiver & a tenner. I spent more on gas in dec 22 than i did FOR THE WHOE YEAR IN 2021
