I have run a ferroli optima 701 combi boiler in my home for the last 14 years and believe it or not it has given very little trouble 😀 (must be a miracle I hear you say).
I,m not really keen on replacing a reliable boiler considering all the woeful reliability stories I've heard regarding the current range of boilers.
I realize it's very inefficient by todays standards (70% efficiency I believe) but my main concern is that due to its age the copper heat exchanger could start leaking, most likely when I'm away for a few days therefore creating a flood in my home. 🙁
I should point out that I've replaced the inhibitor is the system every year.
Apart from advising me to replace the bl**dy thing you skinflint can anyone tell me if they have had to replace the copper heat exchanger on this model and/or what life can a copper heat exchanger be expected to give.
