Combi Boiler tips?

Buy a Remeha Avantaplus 35C. Connect the outside weather sensor - cheap enough. A quality boiler at a great price and great spec'. Remeha have just bought Baxi, sopa big outfit. Fit a Maganclean filter to the CH return.

I personally don't like Worcester boilers any more, I find them really overrated.

Whatever boiler you get just make sure that the system is properly cleaned before the new boiler is hooked up, more important the boiler choice is the quality of installation; you could have cheap Biasi properly installed on a clean system and a Vaillant poorly installed on a dirty system, the Biasi is likely to be working fine after five years whilst the Vaillant is likely to have been giving a lot of problems.

A good boiler is the Vaillant ecoTEC+ 831; you will get a slightly better hot water flow rate provided that you have sufficient incoming mains.

Didn't realise it was a new month...

Broag Remeha boilers may be good, but many people prefer to stick with boilers that are more mainstream.

Given that dribble changes his mind about which is the best boiler more often than his underpants I'd ignore him. He cannot possibly be basing it on the factors most demand - like reliability, etc.

OK thanks, I 'll keep that in mind, BTW was he the one who used to post ages ago as IMM?

Yup, and International Man of Misery^h^h^h^h Mystery, and NEWS, and Adam and probably few others.

You must EFF OFF as you are a plantpot.

Dr Potterton Drivel has quite ring to it, don't you think?

Dr Potty would suffice ...

Worcester have a good service network and will repair faults quickly for a fixed price though.

But they obviously didn't buy Drivel his Werthers Originals this month, so they're no longer in favour

I have to say though, that we're seeing an increasing proportion of Worcester fans in for repair - the bearings they use are s**te

Hi Geoff,

Do you get many Vaillant PCB's in for repair?

Yes, but not a disproportional number

Certainly not "premier league"

The most common are

Potterton Suprima

Ideal Icos

and Worcs 24i

in that order
