I have emailed locally and have received estimates ranging from £185 with 10 year warranty to £290 with 5 year warranty. Superficially they all seem to offer the same service, remove old sealed un...

I intend to have the boiler replaced and was wondering, being a complete rocking horse with anything tech :cry: , if flow determines in any way the boiler rating.

Please don't maul me for this question.

My bath taps give approx 10 l/min cold and 7.5 hot flow rates. What causes the difference, and is it adjustable?
