Should I replace my boiler or just fix it (again)??

[fredsmith]

Hi all,
I currently have a chaffoteaux boiler (not sure of the exact model) that is about 10 years old. Last month I needed to fit a new expansion vessel and now this month I am in need of getting a new PCB board. The vessel set me back a couple hundred pounds and I now have a quote to supply and fit a new PCB for 325 pounds inc VAT. I also have a quote from the plumber to install a vokera 29he for 1600 inc VAT which comes with a 5 year warranty. I'm not sure whether to just fix my current boiler or sack it and get the new vokera one. Any suggestions???

get a new one but something likely to last like an intergas which has 5 yr warranty if fitted by an approved installer, less build in failure as less parts to go wrong.

have to agree with lame plumber intergas are a good boiler to have fitted,, the gas safe engineer who i go out with from time to time fits these.

Stay away from the vokera. Changing a chaf for vokera is like out of the frying pan and into the fire. Go for a replacement but shop around. I'd go for the ideal logic+ with 7 years warrenty.

Youve had a lot of trouble with the logic+ range?

Still suffering the bad rep from the icos/Isar I reckon. I love the logic+

Ive fitted loads of logic+ and never had a problem. I agree dont fit a vokera.

Oce Ive had problems with a make they lose my business for ever, ideal ferroli worcester chaffonteax,, but intergas, remeha, baxi are still on my xmas card list

Remeha and baxi? I take it you don't do many installs?

 

[Reltub]

I also fit loads of baxi's. i have had a couple of problems but on the whole very good.

Vaillants for me, recently came equal first for reliability by which magazine. I think it was which anyway. The other boiler was Worcestor, but there a complete cow to work on.

I only fit intergas now, but the remeha and baxis havent given me any problems when I've put them in, probably as I follow mfis but the majority of my work is service and repair and most of the new install problems I come across is down to poor workmanship and people not following mfis. So you keep slapping them in and I'll keep following you round.

Dont see how poor instalation can be responsible for pcb and fan failure plagued on Baxi,s.
