Sell Baxi Solo 3 PFL 50

Thomas

Hi

I've just bought a house with the above boiler installed in 2007. Works fine, only a young couple lived in the house and wasn't part of a two zone system. I'm upgrading the heating controls and moving the boiler and hot water tank location etc and the plumber is looking to install a new condenser boiler while he's at it. There will be the standard grants available.

My questions are:

1) Should I hold onto the Baxi or allow the new one to go in?

2) Can I sell the Baxi second hand? Is it worth anything?

Thanks
Tom

No ask the installer if he wants it for scrap. It's no good to you. You might get 20 euro for it on done deal. Nobody would install a second hand Boiler though.

What Dtp means, is no professional would install a second hand boiler. Or sell them second hand.
And their public liability insurance wouldn't cover them.



But somebody must be buying and fitting these. :eek:

Many years ago I was chatting with my public liability insurance provider about a few things when I was pricing a particularly tricky job.
We got to discuss many aspects of what is truly covered by P.L. insurance and what is not etc.
The bottom line was that if you fit a second hand item, then you personally accept all the risk and liabilty that goes with it in the event of an incident occurring.
One would be very foolhardy to leave themselves so badly exposed by fitting an unknown second-hand gas appliance.
