Thanks, Slinky. I hadn't found Hughes direct, so I will have a look at
what they offer. Disposal of the old stuff isn't a problem - they still
work and there are always people asking for them on freecycle.
The only thing wrong with the old ones is the energy consumption. I
reckon that, with the way electric prices are going, new A rating units
will pay for themselves in under 3 years, compared to what I have now.
