Just as important is the water quality, we test each service to determine water quality, this is because poor system water = short lifespan of the boiler. As explained on the website, many engineers don't have the equipment or capability to service condensing boilers, I was recently told by 3 'engineers' that they service modern boilers, 'the old way', this is impossible.
I would assume that a large %age of the boilers you work on are "the conventional type"
