my 40+ year old boiler isn't going to last forever.
Anecdotal, but the guy who fixed our boiler was adamant that old boilers were much better quality than modern ones. So it might not be a good idea to remove it until its beyond repair.

We were also told that by a plumber who could have sold us a new boiler. Apparently part of the problem with modern boilers is the control boards fail and they don't make spares for long.

Define quality. Old boilers are far simpler in design because they weren't required / regulated to be mind bogglingly efficient and installable by a single human even if needed to be carried up four flights of stairs.
Do find it kinda unforgivable that appliance PCBs randomly die though.

I'm also considering air source but they all seemed a bit on the small side (eg around 16kW for a big one compared to 30kW for a large gas boiler). I do need to get some sort of sales person round though as my 40+ year old boiler isn't going to last forever.
