Boiler repair or replacement?

Posted by Laura Jones, on Mon 24 Feb 2014 07:28pm

Our Worcester boiler is approx 12 years old. For around two months our hot water keeps turning icey cold intermittently and we were told we would need a diverter valve. In the meantime our central heating has stopped working properly, only getting lukewarm even when thermostat set at 30c. Plumber suggested it could be overheat stat. Is it worth repairs or time to replace?
