Hi folks,

I was wondering if anyone had come across any decent suppliers of second hand central heating bits n bobs - specifically (if such a place exists !) anywhere that sells refurb alde boilers.

 

I want to install an alde, but the new price tag of £900 plus is way way out of my very tight budget. The squirrell on it's own simply cant do the job on a 62 footer - Im freezing !! (And we havent had a proper cold snap yet...!)

 

Cheers folks,

Nige

Hey Nige - I have an old Alde boiler as removed from a caravan I broke up. Good news - you can have it for nothing. Bad news - I haven't a clue if it works. I was told that it did.

 

 

Hi Alec,

Thanks very much for this kind offer.

I have sent you a private message with some information/questions etc.

Please let me know if you get it.

 

Cheers Alec,

All the best,

Nige

Hi Alec,

 

Just to let you know that the old alde was beyond repair im afraid - top of it was completely rusted through. But thanks once again for letting me have it - it might have worked !! :banghead:

 

SO im now back in the same situation and im posing the same question that I hope someone can help me with - can anyone reccomend a source of alde or equivalent type boilers at a reasonable cost ? (I say reasonable as im on an almost non existant budget !!)

 

Thanks all,

Nige

Why not? It does my entire 70 footer no problem at any time of year. Usually have to open windows because it's too hot.

Beware caravan type Aldes

 

They may well draw combustion air through the floor, this is against the BSS and you require one with a balanced flure making it room sealed.

 

There may be an exemption for existing equipment, but its not worth the risk.

 

How about a back boiler for the stove and a gravity central heating system to rads at the other end of the boat. Might rads by skipology.

 

As the Alde uses soem electricity you could go for a pumped stiove heated system.

Hi Tony,

Thanks for the info. Im actually looking quite urgently to get away from the Squirell stove, as the dust is affecting me quite badly through allergies and asthma - hence me looking at alde's etc.

I guess that I'll just have to save up to buy an alde new and not stay on the boat until I have got rid of the squirell :P

But thanks for replying,

Cheers,

Nige

 

 

You never know your luck.

Hi David & Julie,

 

I had seen this on ebay myself and I did bid on it - but was unsucessful. The seller removed it from the auction as it was sold elsewhere :P So i missed out there too !!

Cheers,

Nige
