My experience is that combi boilers last between 8 to 14 years. Our boiler engineer is “old school” - his advice is ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’.

The Potterton Flamingo has proved itself to be totally reliable and I’m told it is built to last. It may fall down on the efficiency stakes a tad - but when I hear of the hassles people have with combi boilers - forgive me for sticking with what works and owes me nothing.
