Replacing combi

See Boiler Choice FAQ. You won't get any answers just better questions.

Buy a Broag Avantaplus 39C and use the weather compensation option. You will not be disappointed.

Hi there

Is there any reason why you wish to stick with the Worcester brand? We do sell Worcester boilers, but we have found them to be more expensive for our customers when a different brand will deliver the same benefits for a real difference in price. Making the assumption that for a four-bedroom house you have more than 1 bathroom (an en- suite or cloakroom is considered as a second bathroom), then you definitely do need one of the more powerful boilers.

Naturally, we recommend that you go for a SEDBUK A-rated boiler to maximise efficiency and reduce your fuel spend. Remember that fuel costs have risen a great deal in the last six months, so a new boiler will pay for itself far more quickly than you think.

Worth thinking about, I think...

Usually it's hot water performance that's the limiting factor for boiler choice not the CH.

That's horse s*it. Since when have mechanical parts been more reliable than electronics? I spent years repairing radio/comms equipment and I would say that 80% or more of faults were due to mechanical failure rather than failure of electronic components or software. I would say that buying something with a mechanical timer would be a large step backwards. Mechanical components incurr friction, wear and will fail. Electronics dont.

That's besides the spam aspect of your post ....

Good greif. Another technophobe. Electronic programmers have been around for over 30 years and should have the benefit of not stopping with a power cut and never going noisy. As well as being smaller, neater and easier to use.

He didn't say mechanical was more reliable than electronics - just that there were no computer parts to go wrong. At least in the timer.

There are also no mechanical parts to go wrong in an electronic timer ;o)

The sentance was insinuating a mechanical timer would be more reliable as there would be no electronic components in it "to go wrong". Hence if there are no components in it to go wrong, then it must be reliable,

Please eff off as you are an idiotic Jocko plantpot.

I was rather intrigued by this:

"The Ariston Clas HE also features an LCD display which, as well as displaying information on the boilers operation, will also display an error code in the event of a shut down to help easily determine the cause."

I had never before considered a clockwork LCD display... But it must be because there are "no computer parts to go wrong!".

I have a clockwork timer with a microprocessor in it. It runs the overrides, etc.

Easier for the likes of us. For lots of people like my mum, the 'old fashioned' programmer with on-off tags round a wheel is much easier to understand, likewise mechanical thermostats with a dial.

You can get electronic thermostats with a dial.
