£550 Budget

[Dickie]

A 'friend' of mine has bought a wee flat for a bird he has on the side. He's on a limited budget as he doesn't want the wife to find out about it or her! Anyway, he's wanting me to replace the existing combi & I wondered what you guys would recommend for around £550, 28KW with standard flue & clock.
Should I, sorry, my friend risk getting a Heatline? I've not fitted their Band A boilers, but fitted plenty of the Vizo's & they've been great.
Cheers chaps.

Just get a fan heater, youll both be in bed most of the time your there anyhow so get her to wear an extra jumper when your not.

The UKPF Admin, Mods and TA's cannot and will not condone the immoral behaviour of dirty randy old goats and so would recommend splashing out a little bit more.

We know where you live and how to write blackmails.....

Williams have a 30kW Ideal independent with clock and flue listed for £499

Thanks mate, perhaps I can get the views of some of the less conservative chaps, as my own experiences of cheaper boilers have been good. Fitted & commissioned on a clean system they're great. However, our water here in God's country is very soft, which may have a bearing on their reliability??

Jealousy is an awful feeling:sly:

For a budget combi I'd go with the Ideal Independent as well.
