Re: Any opinions on Rayburn or Alpha range cookers/boilers?

Very difficult to find anyone to service Alpha s very expensive too last service £1500 2 years ago and now needs another service.

A quick gander around the web shows that you run a photography business, I hope your ability to read the settings on your camera is better than than your ability to read the date of the question to which you were replying. It was asked 16 years ago.

If it had cost me £1500 for a cooker service, I'd be cross, too. I'm not surprised she's taking every opportunity to mention it.

They are extremely inefficient. Only there to be seen. Pretty useless in fact. Most people have a conventional cooker next to them.

Thank f*ck you've replied, he's been waiting 16 years for some advice on the matter, now he can go ahead and get a gas cooker.

Three years later, and I'm thinking of buying a house with an Alpha. Interesting thread - it's never too late to say thank you :)

Three years ago we had an oil fired Rayburn 680KCD installed replacing a

10 year old oil boiler. No regrets whatsoever. It contains two condensing oil burners, one 80,000 Btu heats the water and central heating far more efficiently than the boiler it replaced, the second heats the cooker as and when needed.
