I mentioned that Lee Valley did a good job servicing my Mikuni diesel heater. I spoke too soon. Turned out that they'd missed some burnt out components and a few months later I had to get it serviced again.

I also found Lee Valley boatyard slow to fix up a date to get work done, but that's been my experience with other boatyards too. They did a good job servicing my Mikuni heater... but obviously the diesel bill's risen.

what sort of radiators are you using on the narrowboat with the new diesel system are they low level ones ?

Hi Trudy,<br /><br />Sorry for the long delay in replying to you!<br /><br />I will still have two solid fuel stoves on Sirius, I will have a Squirel (without a back boiler) in the living room, personally I think you can&#39;t beat a nice fire on a narrowboat, it might be a bit more hastle but it&#39;s always nice to see a real fire crackling away.<br /><br />I also have another smaller stove in

Hi Chris<br />We are just deciding on heating for our 70&#39; nb, soon to be built.Are we being silly by wanting a squirrel and a diesel?? I want to cover all eventualities as we are living aboard.<br />Trudy

Yes, I agree, although I am currently doing it more to increase the number of days a year my girlfriend is willing to stay on board than to sell her. ( the narrowboat, not my girlfriend ;-) )

The benefits in the long term with changing from solid fuel heating to the new diesel system will be huge.<br /><br />Many of the boats we sell, customers prefer this kind of system.
