FOXHUNTER1 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Need a new combi boiler . Any suggestions as to the most reliable ....as this is my third boiler. I was thinking Worcester this time. My last one was Vaillant but I believe they have merged with another company and not as reliable as they once were. Any suggestions .....would rather pay more for a really reliable boiler. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sle Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 The new ideal vogue is the by far the best combi on the market at the mo, stainless heat exchanger and 7 year warranty. Had few probs with Worcester warranty over the last couple of years, that old water quality excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions .....would rather pay more for a really reliable boiler Nothing wrong with either Worcester,Vaillant or many other brands unfortunatley if its not installed and commisioned properly no modern condensing combi boiler will last that long.Broag Remeha Avanta are really good, IMHO but i do install systems for a living, i'm sure the gifted amateurs will have an opinion too. whatever is installed pay for a proper power flush not a chemical only flush, and pay for a filter adding magnatec fernox or sentinel they are a much of a muchness I think the Ideal Vouge has now a 10 year warranty we only fit Ideal combi's now beware the ides of isar lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingo15 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 No boiler is infallible over the years have fitted nearly every. We will never personally guarantee it will never break down. I'd personal go for an ideal with a long warranty. As Winston said get it flushed properly and have a cleaner put on the system. But make sure it's cleaned every year.

We've only got 60 years experience in the heating industry between us in our firm so scrap my recommendation op. never said you were a gifted amateur,never dismissed worcester, but wow a whole 60 years of expierience in a company?? doesnt that equate to 3 blokes at 36? or variations there of, thats not a huge ammount to be fair, working on that premise we have over 1400 years of experience, still only an opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know Winston you always come across as a smart a'%3 in these posts where everybody else knows nothing and you are the "king of all things heating and plumbing"!! Amateurs arnt allowed to post replys based on there experience and "experts" or people with experience you still pick faults with like on other threads you replied on. I bow down to your superiority, in my opinion of course. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winston72 - take a step back. You might know your heating, but your posts are not faultless. Just stick to giving constructive advice, without putting down others. I expect you will feel the need to reply, but don't waste your time. It will only make you look worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del T Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Its your attitude Winston, you do come across as a "know it all" and your posts always show this. Its like the amateur comments that you always put on these types of posts.? Some of these "amateurs" might not have a gas safe reg but have a couple of hundred rental properties ,so they can give input on boilers as an example. I thought you weren't giving any more advice out after the last time when you threw your toys out the pram because a few "amateurs" were trying to help a fellow pw'er?.

Gordon R Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Winston - before you get into full flow about Del T's thinking, you might pay attention to your own posts. You might or might not be an expert on heating, but your written work is truly awful. Bit since I have seen such poor grammar and spelling. If you think that is a cheap shot - look back at your posts - now they are cheap shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
