    Why do mod-con boilers even need an offset setting?

    Expansion Tank

    It looks like your expansion tank is valved off of the system by that green handled ball valve. That valve, if it is between the air vent and the expansion tank, must be open for the tank to accept any expansion. Also, it looks like the pipe that connects the air vent to the expansion tank...

    Estimate price too high?

    As others have suggested it is difficult if not irresponsible to comment on the price; instead, we might be able to help you determine if your quoted equipment is appropriate and help you feel better about the installer you choose. How did your installer decide on a 55,000 btuh boiler? Did the...
