Our gas boiler is about 18 years old and is due for replacement. We want to get a modern condensing boiler with assistance from SEI.
I spoke to one plumber about it and he said modern natural gas boilers will not operate on an open system, and that if we want to keep the open fire we need to go for oil instead.
He says if we want a modern gas boiler we have no option but to get rid of the backboiler and go for a closed system.
A quick google shows that condensing natural gas boilers are available for open system.
Why is the plumber telling us this?
