I guess it's living on borrowed time.
I also know that had I taken the advice of the experts, ten years ago when we moved into the house, we would have had it changed and now ten years later the replacement would probably be coming to the end of its life. What say the PH plumbers? It's pristine and runs faultlessly.

It's quite inefficient but I reckon the money I would save on having to replace it with a condensing boiler plus the upkeep and short life span more than pays for any extra gas I use.
