Which System Boiler? - Plumbing Forum | Plumbers Forums

Hi

I'm renovating a house and am having to learn about pressurised systems etc.

I am looking for a 24kw system boiler and have narrowed my choice down to :
Worcester-Bosch 24i and an Alpha 24S.

Would appreciate any guidance on how to make the final choice.

Thanks

Worcester i'd opt for due to the name, it's one I recognise although I don't know much about either.

I'll see what info I can find for you but one of the other members (although we only have a few at the moment as we're still pretty new) may be able to answer you with more detail.

worcester has the best reputation. have you worked out the size you need. if so have you added a little extra on so the boiler is not working hard, this will let the boiler last longer

flick a coin. all boilers can last as lond as a light bulb. my first worcester packed in after 10 hrs,(fault on pcb) customer slagged me off like mad.told him it was pcb straight away. he called worcester engineer, who said pcb's never go. after replacing fan & gas valve decided to go for pcb! guess what???????
21 yrs plumbing beaten once not a bad record really

forgot to say if you are staying in the house buy a dear one if you are selling it buy a cheap one. aristons do alright
