10 year warranty on Ravenheat

[ShaunCorbs]

tbh ive never fitted one cant get the locally

 

[EvilDrPorkChop]

Have you fitted any?

Fitted about 30 Modenas over the past 5 years, the majority with 7 year warranties. Not bad for a budget boiler, they work well, simple and the engineers in our area are great so can't complain - but saying we know the engineers says it all really

Fit Vaillants the majority of the time to be fair. You've always got a customer that doesn't want to spend that type of money though.

Yep , truly a great bloke , ring him on a Sunday and he will answer the phone , mind you so do I lol

Wouldn’t have any intention of fitting them to be honest mate.

For a cheapo budget boiler nothing comes close .

To be fair to the cheaper brands I think a lot of them are upping their game. They have to with these long warranties flying around.

Long warranties, think most of the cheaper brands will start going bust if they have to keep up with the repairs.

On a £700 boiler
How many repairs can they afford to make?

 

[EvilDrPorkChop]

If you think some are £500, new HEX and they're probably nearly out of pocket.

I dont think they are paying £500 for a new hex.

I heard Worcester pay something like £2 for a pcb.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Well rave don’t make there own hex’s just use a generic one so cuts cost down

Never liked Ravenheat and had so many breakdowns to fairly new ones in the past I have avoided them like the plague.
That said They have now really upped their game and for this they have totally transformed their new range. All the plastic has gone and replaced with copper and brass, the stainless hex is now 28mm stainless coil and very unlikely to block up and every part can be changed in minutes. I have to say I am very impressed by their new boiler and at £600 for boiler, flue and boilerplus controls has to be a good choice for a budget boiler in my opinion.
Still do not know how reliable it will be, but time will work that one out and I am now going to be fitting one next week and see how it goes. Even got a £50 off voucher for one when I went for my gas safe inspection event day at Ravenheat so winner methinks, and worth the risk.

Which model?
Would be good to get a review if you have time

 

[Darren Jackson]

scott_d Its a HE30S compact, I'll let you know how I get on. Never thought I would be installing a Ravenheat I am usually ripping them out! But hey ho think they are worth trying out the new range.

That wasn't really my point. If the boiler is £500 to buy, lets say it costs £100 (Could be more or less) to make and get to a retailer. If a new HEX is £50 to them as a spare, they've then got the costs maybe two engineers visits (one to diagnose, then a revisit to fit), the cost of the engineer and the running costs of the call centre etc. By the time you've finished you're probably into a minimum of a £200 repair. Get another call out to that boiler and you're nearly at a loss.
