We have just read Chris Mahon's comments on his neighbours heating system. We know his neighbour and his comments are not the truth about the heating system! It is a top quality German boiler and like most wood burners is not the prettiest thing on the planet. That is why it is in a boiler room. The cost was NOT €40,000 but €14,000. It was installed by highly professional tradesman. It is nothing like a combi boiler! As a combi boiler does not have water storage facilities. As a so called plumber he should check his facts. It does not have to have the wood cut to a certain length, width , etc. It hasn't got a feed system, you place the logs in the boiler the normal way, by hand. The expansion vessel is large, as it is a safety device for a large system. The so called complicated servicing is clean the boiler flu and chimney, once a year, as with any other wood burner! It is not rocket science burning wood. He was not asked to repair any of the system, but to install 2 rads. in the existing system. No repair work as there was nothing to repair on the system!
