Yep we’re having a new boiler put in - during the hottest week of the year so far. Today is meant to be 98% humidity in Brighton too (I frickin’ hate high humidity. Apparently my legs do too as they always come out in a rash when the humidity starts to rise.)
And they are turning the radiators on later too, joy.
The positive side of the new boiler is that:
a) We will save on fuel bills as the new boiler is 92% efficient as opposed to our old one which was about 55%.
b) It’s better for the environment
c) It’s smaller and very plain
d) Our shower will now work properly
e) It will be quieter
The negatives are:
a) We now have a hole in our kitchen wall to the outside world where the old monstrosity came out. A hole makes me nervous. Apparently we have Victorian flint walls which are very crumbly.
b) We will need to get some replastering done.
c) The fitters arrived an hour and a quarter early this morning and I was in my dressing gown.
Hopefully our neighbours will forgive us all the noise.
