Thats like asking how long a peice of string is.......

Depends on if it is going into the same position, if allowed by the regs
Is it a combi you are looking at getting fitted.......If so, do you have a combi all ready
Do you TRV valves on the radiators at the moment

did they power flush the system
i heard that if it is not done on a new boiler install then you have no warranty with your new boiler

Manufacturers service engineers will take a sample of water through the prv and if its not clean with the right concentration of inhibitor they will void the warranty
