£550 Budget

[Dickie]

A 'friend' of mine has bought a wee flat for a bird he has on the side. He's on a limited budget as he doesn't want the wife to find out about it or her! Anyway, he's wanting me to replace the existing combi & I wondered what you guys would recommend for around £550, 28KW with standard flue & clock.
Should I, sorry, my friend risk getting a Heatline? I've not fitted their Band A boilers, but fitted plenty of the Vizo's & they've been great.
Cheers chaps.

Just get a fan heater, youll both be in bed most of the time your there anyhow so get her to wear an extra jumper when your not.

The UKPF Admin, Mods and TA's cannot and will not condone the immoral behaviour of dirty randy old goats and so would recommend splashing out a little bit more.

We know where you live and how to write blackmails.....

Williams have a 30kW Ideal independent with clock and flue listed for £499

Thanks mate, perhaps I can get the views of some of the less conservative chaps, as my own experiences of cheaper boilers have been good. Fitted & commissioned on a clean system they're great. However, our water here in God's country is very soft, which may have a bearing on their reliability??

Why is it in these sort of situations ! its always a FRIEND who is asking , just Man-up and tell us its you

 

[Rickster123]

You'll be roasting soon enough in the fires of hell! :wings:

 

[Resolute]

We need pics of your friends girl before we can comment on the best boiler for her!

Jealousy is an awful feeling:sly:

 

[Mike Jackson]

For a budget combi I'd go with the Ideal Independent as well.

 

[Dotty]

Agreed. we need pictures of said strumpet.

 

[mfgs]

Glowworm Betacom is my budget boiler of choice.

 

[Dotty]

I'd plump for the Worcester Bosch Greenstar 24i Junior.

There I've said it!

I'm not too sure what you mean JTS??
Are you trying to say I'm the bounder with a 24 year old peice of crumpet hidden in a love nest with a boiler on the blink??

Depends whether or not you provide pictures of strumpet!

Funny you should say that!

Only asking £500
