We found this out over a decade ago when my wife was very ill and had to have a couple of operations. Her recovery was long and she was discharged from hospital in the November of that year. Up until that point the heating in our house was programmed to come on morning and evening. But we said “what the heck - for my wife’s recovery we will have it on all the time. And we expected a huge bill because of this. To be fair the heating for the first couple of weeks was coming on a lot - but after a while we realised that the whole house was really “comfortably warm” - and the boiler only came on for a limited time regularly throughout the day and night. The bills were no more than we would normally pay as we paid monthly and there was no increase at our review point. This, together with a much warmer and cosy house converted us to the reality of getting “the whole house warm”. I post this as the reality of my experience- I’m not bothered if closed minds cannot comprehend. Their problem - certainly not mine!! |

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. |

My experience. Apprenticed toolmaker. Then design drawing office for 15 years. Mechanical engineering up to and design of parts for Rapier guided missile system. Decided on a change of career so studied and went into the building and construction engineering side of things as I wanted to work outside of an office. Spent the next 30 years building and road construction. One of my highlights was the construction of the country mansion for the Duke of Somerset in Devon. Definitely not a career for a closed mind.--Lots of time taken up in problem solving. Try hard to always be Objective and not Subjective and deal in facts and not supposition. But as I usually end up trying to say---We all have our own opinions and that's what makes life interesting don't you think.--- |

No disrespect but I am wary of those who cite 20 to 30 years of experience as justification for not taking on board a concept they disagree with. I have often found that the “experience” they really have is just one or two years but it is now 20 to 30 years old.. |
