Boiler final combustion analyser reading advice wanted

[Luke2611]

Buying a new property which has recently had a gas safety certificate issued.
The boiler that is fitted is a Halstead Quattro Gold and is over 15 years old. The reading for the final combustion analyser is 0.0009
I have been told that it is highly unlikely that a boiler of that age would have a reading like that. Is this true? If so is it a case that it hasn't been checked correctly?

Did they leave a print out ? what were the rest of the readings ? if not happy get it re done.

Not true, a boiler of that age could easily have that reading. But at 15 years old expect to be fitting a new one soon

Maybe the boiler was on minimum output, it doesn't really matter as longs you got the cert

 

[Ollieg]

That seams ok to me.

 

[Luke2611]

Operating pressure 29.52
That was the only other reading. It's just a safety record,nothing more

 

[Luke2611]

Do you have a rough idea on cost of a new one?

 

[Ollieg]

Is that LPG or something?

The box sometimes allows pressure or kW output, that sounds more like a kW reading or gas rate

 

[Luke2611]

It's operating pressure in mbar or heat output in kW.

Looks like hes put the heat input in the wrong box.
Call him and ask

Yes, a combi is about 1000 & allow about 1000 to flush system & install etc, pretty basic costing, it could be less or more depending on a lot of factors...

What exactly are you worried about?

What exactly are you worried about?

That his 15 year old halstead isn't as efficient as he'd hoped

 

[ShaunCorbs]

as above and tbh i dont leave print outs if over 10 years,

and if it was me i would be getting it serviced before i moved in anyway

You have a problem if operating pressure is 29.5 To high for nat gas to low for LPG, That's the heat output of boiler in Kw, look on boiler it will tell you what model it is.
