The heat exchangers of condensing boilers are the usual bugbear. They only last a few years compared to decades for earlier ones. Yet here in the UK it's hard to comply with the ECO rules without a condensing boiler.
Stupid really as it negates a lot of the energy saving when you have to factor in more frequent replacement.
It's like the old argument with the Green lobby against 'environmentally unfriendly Landrovers. As 85% of all Landrovers ever built are still on the road running, how many scrapped vehicles and environmental cost of manufacture has that saved - LOADS !
