Alpha boilers any good?

[Danny25]

The local Alpha rep is trying to get me to switch to using there boilers, but i havent ever fitted one. I fit Baxi mainly with the odd worcester or Valliant. The rep is offering a 7 year warranty which is very appealing, but like i said havent fitted one so just asking for your opinions on them? Cheers

Future maintenance wise the new ones are a disaster, poorly made imo. The old ones (band D's) are decent enough, very similar to alot of baxis as in the hydraulic sections are the same etc.

They are prob easy enough to fit but I reckon the end user would curse u for recommending a new alpha to them. .
I've not been impressed with the newer ones at all .

I agree, not very reliable, leaks are common.

Only ever fitted one, never recommend another to a customer, rubbish.

[Danny25]

It would take alot to switch from Baxi as we get great service and support and the odd freebie spare here and there. From what im hearing already Alpha doesnt sound very promising.

Rubbish wouldn't my trades men wouldn't even look at them twice though people have different views

I say Vokera not the compact but rest of range seems good

Only ever worked on one, but it seemed pretty rubbish. Was an old thing, but judging by the tech they'd used it was behind the rest of the industry.

[SimonJohns]

danny what part of the country are you from?

Disagree with that to be honest

[Alpha man]

They are OK, as others have said though, the spare parts will be expensive and no doubt it will leak!!

1st Intec we fitted did!!
