Former England captain Gerry Francis was so impressed with the reliability of his old Potterton boiler that he is replacing it with a new, up-to-date version.
Gerry bought his home in 1976 while he was still England captain. The Potterton Diplomat boiler was already in the house. "We have had the boiler serviced regularly and have never had a problem with it," he said. "When we had some extension work carried out recently, I had no hesitation in choosing another Potterton boiler. If something is that reliable, you stick to what you know!"
Production of the Potterton Diplomat ceased in 1979, but some parts are still available through interpart, Potterton's parts division. However, Gerry now has a brand new SEDBUK Band A rated Promax FSB 30 HE floor standing boiler to heat his home and hot water quickly and efficiently.
The Promax FSB is fully modulating between 9.3kW to 30.2kW, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It is compatible with fully pumped, open or sealed systems and can be used with a wide range of fluing options for maximum flexibility. In addition, it has an integral condensate pump included as standard and built-in two stage frost protection to prolong its lifespan and to save time during installation.
And like the rest of the Potterton Promax range, Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions are kept to a minimum, helping to protect the environment.
All Potterton products are fully tested to offer maximum reliability. They are supported by heateam, the largest heating service provider in the UK. With a nationwide network of over 200 field service engineers and a team of highly trained call centre staff, heateam offers technical support and advice for installers and homeowners.
