T. Cosgrove - Plumbing and Heating Services: Boiler types: which would suit your home best?

Showcase by T. Cosgrove - Plumbing and Heating Services, Glasgow's first port of call in Plumbing and Heating Services

These are some Worcester Bosch Greenstar combination boiler installs that we have completed since July 2008.
One boiler was installed in a garage in a semi-detached house in Waterfoot where the old boiler had been and the other boiler was installed in an old kitchen pantry next to the kitchen in a semi-detached house on Mearns Road in Clarkston and in another installation the new boiler was moved to the utility room from the old boiler position in the kitchen of a detached bungalow in Newton Mearns
The home owners were delighted with the work, the quality of the boilers and the hot water produced by them.
Two of the jobs were replacing old cast iron boilers which were over 25 years old and were very inefficient the other was a replacement for a ten year old Vokera Exel with very poor hot water.
