If anybody can think of any to add please do. I'll sort a poll out in next couple of days. Also get the supplier poll running as that's pretty much read too.

 

[Harvest Fields]

Got my message then Dan?

 

[Dan]

What message lol

[ShaunCorbs]

What message lol

guess he means this one

Which plumbing suppliers do you use? - We'll create a poll once we have a list

Ahhh I didn't see that but it is well overdue. I've started the thread in the mods forum but got side tracked. It took ages write all the names down. Loads more plumbing firms than tiling ones i do that one quite quickly.

Also, pretty much had this week off with my daughter and @Lou. Swapped our Fiat 500 for a Kia Sedona today so off for a nice drive tomorrow. Will sort all this out Monday.

 

[Harvest Fields]

Brilliant mate

 

[Lou]

Yeah we've had a really good week. And loving the new car! It's huge! Back to the grind stone Monday.

 

[moonlight]

ShaunCorbs you have been busy

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Well @Lou how's the car, no hidden problems / wheels or engine falling out?

 

[Pitty]

Vaillant for me

 

[muggles]

Hounsfield for oil

 

[masons]

baxi all day long

 

[Jane Carter]

For the best boiler, I will prefer Johnson & Starley no one else.

This has now been and gone. Good luck with the next one.

 

[Vee]

Vaillant, Worcester and Grant. Occasionally Baxi or Glowworm.

 

[sammathias]

Ferroli or ravenheap for the win!!!!!

 

[djchristoff]

Baxi for a budget boiler with 7yr warranty. I fit a lot of Worcesters, but i do like the Vaillants plus their warranties good.

 

[Rob Foster]

Most installed boilers just go to Bisria site and get the updates all done ..Worcs B sold 3m last year in uk

 

[AMGasServices]

Please add zanussi to the list it’s a rebadged logic.

 

[Rob Foster]

Now AMG this is a subject within a subject Which boilers are the same except the name and which ones share parts. Just like cars spare for one make are way more for some makes than others but are same. Windscreen wipers eg

Atag - don't think I've seen any
Baxi - seen quite a few
Biasi - seen the odd one
Buderus - not seen
Chaffoteaux & Maury - not seen
Ferroli - don't think I've seen these
Glow-worm - seen a few
Heatline - the odd one or two
Halstead - don't think seen any
Ideal - seen a lor
Intergas - haven't seen many
Johnson & Starley - not seen any did they not make really old hearing systems?

This is a good historical survey, in that there will be loads of Worcester stuff cause historically they were the choice of the old gas boards and the habit took a while die off, and worcs now advertise heavily on telly like Renault but this might not make them the best choice Rob Foster aka centralheatking

 

[Spindle]

Yeah you're right. Incidentally the day after I posted that I saw two Alpha boilers.

 

[Robert Anderson]

I got a Ariston clas he 30 boiler fitted n have to say can’t compldin reallynefficient great hot water pressure from it standard 5 year warranty with additional 8-10 year add on and not at the higher end of budget, didn’t get great reviews but spoke to a guy who’s business is sub contracted to fix them forcwardanty n said they are decent they have cake a long way and had a bad name for a while but areddcent not sure you guys thoughts on that to be fair I know all fitters have their faves another guy a know swears by bosh etc it was just a thought on what the community thinks

 

[Robert Anderson]

Sorry few spelling corrections on last post lol stupid phone I’m sure you know I don’t mean cake n should be come lol

 

[Robert Anderson]

Also heard Ariston are trying to get the gas board to now fit their boilers

 

[Harvest Fields]

Also heard Ariston are trying to get the gas board to now fit their boilers

Which gas board?

 

[Robert Anderson]

BG as far as I had heard I don’t think it’s done or anything just heard that it was something they were looking into along with the others that BG fit

 

[Robert Anderson]

Weirdly enough they do have loads of Ariston on their system but not my model they have the 24 but not the 30 again strange reason I know I stupidly tried to join the plan not realising the Ariston boiler warranty was as good to be fair n then BG Guy came out n says sorry it’s not on the system that we cover that model but 9 pages of other Ariston boilers lol will never work them out and what qualifies n what doesn’t

 

[Tim Watts]

WB 42CDi - I like it. Simple to operate (2 knobs for DHW and CH temperatures), fast and quiet. Looks neatly laid inside (I hung around whilst my favourite GasSafe chap installed it).

Good clear installation instructions (I'm not GasSafe and wouldn't touch gas obviously - but I did read first so I had some idea of flue constraints to work out possible installation locations plus requirements for the electrics which I provided). The manual has good clear data too, like maximum system volumes, which we exceeded, so needed to factor in a secondary expansion vessel. WB are also very good on the phone, and are happy to clarify data even to an end user like me.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Any pics of the installations?

 

[Rob Foster]

Name a bunch of boiler makes for me and I'll make a poll so we can see which ones get installed the most.

The latest figures we have ...for 2017 are that ideal is the most popular with over 30,000 installed per month ....right up to date figures cost £1000+ to subscribe. Rob Foster aka centralheatking

 

[999]

That's a fair few boilers Rob Foster

 

[Rob Foster]

That's a fair few boilers Rob Foster

we dont count them , its commercially available info which large companies use
we are relatively small and only design produce and market devices to add on, like the 3 mag filters we did ages ago and the MFd from flowflex ....which is to be launched 2019 as TopUpMate. we have done others and have 3 more soon
