Intergas boiler thoughts

[Gasnoob]

Question I got to ask. Worcester 350 Combi, trips out when you use hot and cold at the same time. Orange deposits out of the hot tap. Repair or replace?

Depends do you want the next 5 years plus trouble free potentially

I would if you could afford it

 

[Gasnoob]

It would be me buying for them seems every few year the bosch needs new parts. New it was 70 % efficient. What's it likely to be now.... New boiler recommendations please.

What’s your set up atm ?

All the boilers are not as long lasting as they were. All have common issues. Fresh, clean system water, fully cleanaed and inhibited with a decent metal magnet should help increase reliability of any boiler. Alot of issues are caused by poor quality system water.

Viessmann 200 sized to suit your supply or Worcester cdi Classic

I like the baxi 600 think it's a good boiler without the hefty price tag.

I never quite understand the intergas sales pitch of 4 moving parts. How many moving parts does the normal combi boiler have I can’t think of many more

Pump, fan, gas valve, dhw flow sensor, diverted valve.

I think it was more they were trying to say they haven't got a diverter valve. My theory is though years ago other manufacturers had direct fire if there was any benefit to it other than no diverter valve then all the other manufacturers would be doing the exact same thing.

In a way it is clever they use the fear of having a diverter valve to sell boilers.

I am surprised other manufacturers haven't followed Worcesters diverters as they are now fairly reliable and if the motor goes they are dead simple and quick to replace.
