I'm getting a new boiler and have decided on a combi/condenser type. British gas gave me a quote for a Ideal Isar 30HE Condensing Combi Boiler, whereas a local plumber recommends a Vaillant Ecomax Condensing Combi 828/2E.
I've had a quick gander and both seem to offer the same features and output rates, except one is £200 more than the other. The local plumber has said he will fit the Ideal if I choose that, but for obvious reasons he's pushing the Valliant, as he's an authorised supplier and he's more familiar with them.
Does anyone have any input regarding these 2 models as I haven't heard of either of these brands, maybe recommend an alternative. I know this is a bit vague on my part.
Just for reference BG quoted £3500 all in, including powerflush and 7 new therm rad valves.
Local plumber is quoting £2200 for exact same work, except I'll be doing the donkey work,(removing header/feeder tanks, cylinder, old pipework,etc) TIA
