Hi,
We're in the process of buying an appartment that contains an Powermax HE. I know it's about 6-7 years old and, from reading some of the threads here, you keep talking about "early versions". I've no idea how long the HE has been going, so can someone give me a clue whether I'm likely to have an "early" version, and therefor would be subject to the various "features" which are likely to cause me problems.

All,
It's now 2 years later and I bought the apartment and it still has the powermax which is now, we believe 11 years old although it currently works perfectly. Our apt is part of a very large complex with over 200 apartments, and most of them have Powermax HEs, which are now starting to wear out as you can imagine. I've also now become a director of the management company responsible for this complex, so have a bit of responsibility for advising leaseholders on boiler replacement. If there is onyone out there who reads this and fancies getting involved with this ongoing, long term boiler replacement project, please reply to this post. Many thanks Tone

On a slightly different topic, I'm also writing an article for residents who leave their apartments empty for various lengths of time. I've had conflicting advice on whether I should turn it all off or leave it on. Can an expert out there give me an independant view on what I should do if I leave my apartment empty for up to 6 months. Thanks Tone

Hi Tone,
Did you ever get anywhere with your 'age of boiler' enquiry?
We moved into a house 18 months ago which has a Powermax HE 150. It's losing pressure and one radiator won't come on. We have our first baby on the way so I really want to ensure everything is safe.
We've fitted a CO detector from Argos on the landing, but I'd still rather know my boiler (installed in 2007) is not dangerous.
Cheers.
Alex
