My narrowboat is fitted with a diesel powered radiator system. I find the maintenance levels and costs a little extreme. Is it possible to remove the diesel heating and replace it with a suitable Alde gas/electric heater?

Subject to a survey of the vessel, it is usually possible, at reasonable cost, to remove a diesel fired heater and replace it with the latest state of the art model 3010 gas/electric Alde boiler. This boiler is capable of heating the largest narrowboat, providing copious amounts of hot water using gas and if the boat is connected to a shore side hook-up, the system can be run on mains electric when on the mooring.
