Hi there,
I need some expert advice. My current combi boiler (Potterton Puma 80e) is on it's last legs I fear, so I need to replace it, however I really have no idea what to look for. Basically I have a one bed flat with 1 bathroom and a total of 4 rads. Can anyone give me some advice as to what combi boiler would be good to go for for this size of property. I really would appreciate any advice offered.
Many thanks in advance
Cerpnjak

Hiya all, I'm a newbie here so Hello. Ferolli or Broag remeha are doing a 5yr warranty, makes sense to me to go for one of those. 24kw should suffice I guess.

If you are looking for a decent boiler with a budget price you cant beat baxi, if you want to pay a bit extra and get a good boiler go for a worcester bosch they are excellent

Hi mcmoby69
I must be just plain lucky!!

Worcester Bosch must be the most rated on the market due to the huge demand they are getting. 2 of my friends ONLY fit them as they believe they are excellent and the customers love them.

boilers are like light bulbs! some last five minutes some last 25 years. i dont recommend any make coz its bound to go t*ts up. i always ask if they want a make they've heard of. my very first worcester bosch went awol with a faulty circuit board within 24 hrs of commissioning it. glow worms have had a good record with 1 out of the last six having an ignition fault on it. that was a cracked porcelain on the ignition electrode so glowworm came and changed it.my view is if you a living with it or renting it out get a decent one. if you are selling the property get one from netto!( if they do em!)
