new oil boiler and storage tank

[Gray0689]

Personally I work on oil boilers all day long, avoid a combi at all costs. Worcester bosch oil boilers tend to be awkward and pigs to work on. In my view grant or warmflow. I personally have a warmflow external kabin pak which works a treat. From a servicing point of view grant + warmflow are practicly the same. Just the warmflowhas a slightly higher burner making it easier to service.

Agree on grant burners I normally fit of a concrete slab if just boiler house model

I have fitted and seen hundreds of oil boilers and yes any boiler can leak but I have only seen a few grants do this but a hell of a lot of other makes and especially warmflow

Both speaking from experience then There's only 1 Grant I've been to that wasn't leaking. Maybe it's cos around here the Grant's get fitted by people who shouldn't be installing boilers in the first place.

And where are they leaking from the flow and return nuts? Then I'm afraid you have idiots in your area because there an oil boiler is simple to fit

Grants have a good reputation here & the shells have always seemed well made. Burners are a few mm too low admit.
Warmflows have had a lot of leakers. Dont like them sadly. Baffles could be better. Hate the small heat exchanger door to remove for service & there is a "rubber" gasket to seal it that perishes & fumes escape if not renewed often. Wouldn't want one, if given one free! :smile:

Only my opinion, take it or leave it.

I'll have to remember to not step on the grant lovers toes in the future.

No step away I'm just asking what leak

Warmflow, - as you know are local here & have made boilers that have lasted many years - some are still about at 25 + years old. Sadly, they have had a bad reputation last few years.

I would recommend a Grandee, if you want to see your oil guy on a regular basis.
