Hello everyone,
It has been some time since my last thread.
Question
Whats the best boiler to fit for your money£££ and also for little money, that offer reliability and value for money.

Nah - pretty soon someone would be boasting about their 11 yr upgrade, and someone else would be moaning that long warranties meant less replacement work.

I love these long warranties, servicings easy work. You know how long they'll take, and custs have no choice to keep there warranty. Never had so much servicing.
 
Obviously Intergas for top of the range. Budget Combi Ideal Independent, Budget heat only Main HE.

Have been reading about the intergas in various posts always with high regard. Never fitted one. Are they that good Mike? Why? Always liked the Vaillant's that I fit if I can.
 
it's the 22mm waterways and no secondary heat exchanger that do it for me.
 
hex in coppper tube so no issues with a descale. Re the programmer, i have yet to find a customer who can under stand anything more than on off twice a day, so why put in a multiple switching day to day programmer anyhow. How can a bit of rectangular plastic case look rough, unless boiler spotting is your hobby!
 
I like them, but they look alarmingly like an old ariston. And the timers more difficult to use than most.
 
Wow you really are a fan, what did your misses say when she came home to find all that on the kitchen wall?

This is a lovely boiler !

Any opinions on the Remeha Advanta?
We have one in our house.
Yes there were problems with them a few years ago but I think it was identified and sorted - I'm not technical I can't tell you more.
I wouldn't rule out having one of these again - as they are one of the many brands covered by Heateam that is a good thing.
 
But your poor hubby has to service and work on it, so cramped. Get a duo tec they are only few £££ more and there is loads if room inside and easy to work on and parts are off the shelf. Only thing is with all Baxi boiler , DHW sensor washer will swell and weep after 5 years. Replace it with a Vokera aluminium one never leaks.
 
Ahhhhh! Not bad motor probably going to new a minibus soon tho as mrs wants a football team not 2.1
 
Star Wars Boiler.
"grief fm some I have!"..................... :yesnod::yesnod::yesnod:

The failure is strong with this one (remeha avanta)
 
Will there ever be a consensus on which is the best boiler? There appears to many variables as to what is best? What is best for customer? What is best to fit? Price for spares? After sales back up? Ease of replacing components and how they are positioned in the boiler. Does anyone know of a boiler that includes gas engineers in the design process?

ACV . All products are tested and developed by installers.

Boiler thing is easy. Everyone gets one vote and should like the relevant one or add brand to thread.
 
There's some crazy answers in here and I wonder what some of you are smoking.

To install for my beloved customers: Worcester Bosch CDi Classic

For my own house: Vailliant Ecotec Plus

I very much lean against installing anything else, because they're all crap.
