Replacing gas boilers

[Techno II]

Techno Towers doesn't have a number...(Just a Welsh 'name').....The road doesn't even have name.

We do have a postcode which covers goodness knows (12?) how many properties over about 3 miles.

Fine by me.

Dread to think of the gruesome fates of previous 3...

Gas boiler gave out. After about 8 weeks (landlord nagged) its being replaced today. God knows what he'll want to put the rent up to next year.

Flat is absolutely freezing with doors and windows open While they work.

Had ours serviced today, thankfully still in pretty good shape. Expensive boiler work is the last thing we'd need.

Was discussing the new policy of replacing Gas with heat exchangers, etc. with a relative. Apparently, the new Radiators must not be situated under windows! That is totally OUT for us!
B****y Crazy!

I can't imagine where they could go, other than under a window, in most of our rooms.

I can't see how the heat exchanger would know the location of the radiators.

Could be in error. Looking up on Google, no mention apart from traditional placing under windows being un-necessary with double glazing.
However... radiators from heat exchange system might need to be significantly larger. Less water needing to be heated but with greater surface area to give same heating.

Basically, Heat Exchangers rely on having to heat less water as they don't have the 'oomph' of a gas boiler.

Our radiators are 60s... single bank of pipes, thick metal.
Many more recent radiators are 'double' banked and thinner metal.
For same output... radiators in a heat exchange system might need to be 'triple' banked. Therefore 'wider' and maybe more of them.

I don't know. Just do NOT want the things!
