    Have been having some issues with my heating lately. Firstly the expansion tank in the attic has been pitching, which I now know should be have been addressed before and not put on the long finger. I now have a situation where the oil boiler is leaking water and so needs replacing (thankfully still working so not quite emergency yet).
    A plumber had a look at it and recommended a new boiler, and adding an NRG Zone system to address the pitching (heating is oil plus back boiler on stove). The recommendations all made sense to me, but the cost seems high - €3100 for new boiler and €3800 for the NRG Zone system. Do these costs seem reasonable? Any experience of the NRG Zone system?

    I'm getting a firebird c26 and 200L stainless steel tank in this week. Cost about 2200 for them both.

    What boiler are you getting?
