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.
 
Buderus GB162/100

In white...

Wall hung.....






There are times I hate me...........
 
I gather fm my car mechanic that a new car will only last 7 years or so cos when the computers all start to fail its not cost effective to replace them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do repair them, they're fine apart from the diverter on the 24CDi which I won't touch.

Fitted loads of Worcesters, never once had a problem. Same with Vaillants. I don't think there's much in it, just that personally for my own house I have, and would install Vaillant. No particular reason apart from they're pretty bombproof.
But we also know how much easier it is to install a Worcester. Bless that lovely pre-plumb manifold. I don't think i'd have a back left if I was putting Vaillants in week-in week-out and struggling underneath them.
 
There is no such thing!

Little money and no problems.....
You can spend the best money and have more problems than installing a cheap boiler.
Not saying you spend less and have more problems!

Throw darts at a dart board with manufacturers names on it...take the best from there
 
Very interested to see all the different opinions of installers best boilers, many there that I wouldn't agree with, but very interesting. I will only say I think intergas are good but little known boilers and I thought that they will be bought out by now by a bigger well known company. Good post.
 
Thats all well & good aslong as our not fitting worcester,vaillant or ideal as they will try to take the servicing of you when the customer registers their warranty

With Vaillants you register them yourself and just tick the no contact box.

We install Vaillant, providing the systems are flushed correctly before and after installation you will only hear from your customers when the annual service is due.

Except when the rubber hoses fail. And the pressure sensor. And the internal filling connections start letting by. And then leaking.

But I still like them :)
 
Domestic = [FONT=Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, clean, sans-serif]Viessmann Vitodens 100-W
Commercial = Any Broag - Remeha, (If sectional it has to have a Riello Burner on or nothing at all!)

WORST BOILER = Keston C55[/FONT]
 
I'd fit more Intergas boilers if they weren't so ugly and awkward to use.
 
Ideals are lovely to fit. Shame about the main heat exchangers leaking after 2 years.... Vaillant all the way for me.
