Glow Worm vs Ideal Logic vs Vaillant vs Worcester

[stevo72]

Hi,

I am considering a new combi install. I have been quoted for 4 choices of boiler...

1) Glow Worm Ultracom 30 CXi
2) Ideal Logic+ 30
3) Vaillant Eco Tech 831
4) Worcester 32CDi

My rads are only 8 years old and clean inside as far as I am aware.

Your opinion is welcome ( see Poll above this post).

Thx.

Thanks for the replies.

Ideal Vogue - didn't mention this because it's £300 more for extra 3 year warranty and the Logic+ already has a good reputation.

Baxi - didn't include this because I'm replacing a Baxi HE 133 which has always been temperamental. So not happy with Baxi.

Didn't include other makes because it might be harder to find installers/fitters with experience of them.

But I have discovered something whilst not having the availability of a gas boiler. My gas fire outputs 1-5 KWh and heats my lounge up nicely. My kettle can boil hot water for a bird bath. A cold bedroom is easier to fall asleep in. Hence, not running a 30-35 KWh gas boiler has saved on a heck of a lot of gas. Just like the good old days before we had central heating.

£300 more?? Are you buying it from Harrods?
Should be £150 ish tops for a similar output
