Boiler with 10 year warranty?

[armyash]

I have been to look at a job, customer needs a combi swap. He has been looking online and has decided he wants a 10 year warranty.

He wants worcester, vaillant or Ideal. I can't find anything with a 10 year.
Is this possible? if so I'm sure it will mean the install has to meet certain criteria, which will mean fitting the extras like filters etc which I always ty and do anyway. Obviously depending on if the customer wants to pay.

Any recommendations?
Thanks

Are you A Vaillant accredited installer? Or Worcester?

 

[Scott_D]

Ideal logic max
Ideal vogue with filter
Vaillant if you are advance

 

[Riley]

Yeah accreditation required I think

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Worcester approved and cdi plus there controls and there filter 10 years

Viessmann are 10 if you pay I think around 200

Vaillant require there protection kit and approved

Ideal require approved, there filter and I think a fee

Put a Baxi platinum in 10 years out the box and bulletproof, big beast though. You don’t have to jump through any hoops like other manufacturers make you.

 

[Scott_1979]

What ideal does your customers want ? Unless it’s a vogue they have to be the worst built boilers on the market. Even the vogues previous brass blocks are now plastic.

Intergas combi some models you get 10 years warranty as standard

I’ve fit ideal for years and not any problems, Ive always flushed the system and fit a filter mind.

I’ve heard that used to have a problem with heat exchangers and cracked sumps but I’ve not seen one on any that I’ve fit in the last five years.

The new Ideal logic max are 10 years warranty and vogue max 12. You just have to join their ideal connect points scheme, no “hoops” to jump through.

On the other hand I’ve seen countless cracked plastic parts on Worcester’s and blocked heat exchangers. In my opinion Worcester’s are overrated.

Also how do you become a Worcester accredited installer? By fitting X amount a month it’s not about anything other than sales

Too be honest a bad boiler fitted well will last longer than any boiler fitted badly I have a 12 year old b&q biasi boiler to prove it

Fitted a biasi yesterday. What a load of trash.

 

[king of pipes]

Ideal vogue will give you at least a 10 year warranty , Intergas or Atag are 10 year .

WB prob the best warranty on the market, all other look for reasons to charge before they even turn up at the door.

There are two issues here. 1. A 10 year warrantee. 2. Boiler quality. I am pragmatic and would choose a quality boiler over any warrantee. One might say that poorly built boiler manufacturers have to cover this with long warranties. I would advise an ATAG boiler installed by an ATAG accredited engineer. Very soon installers who just fit anything and whom are not accredited might find quality work drying up Rob Foster aka centralheatking

No issues with Vaillant warranty

 

[Rob Foster]

No issues with Vaillant warranty

We used to fit Vaillant spot on units with great service back up, we had the first sign written trucks in Somerset with the Easter bunny on and full vaillant van pack wrapping they are still the Audi of heating boliers it’s just ATAG are Honda and superior

[sammathias]

Fitted many stags Rob??

 

[sammathias]

Atags...

 

[Rob Foster]

Atags...

I no longer fit, I design and bring plmbingband heating products to the market. However I work very closely with an outfit which fields 45 vans most days and ATAG is their prefered choice, my current house is to be demolished after Easter and my next home will certainly have ATAG Rob Foster aka centralheatking

Case in point, Ferroli used to offer a 5 year warranty on there garbage.

But aftercare is trash

 

[Old Account]

But aftercare is trash

You can disagree as long as you want ! I’m saying it because if experience and that’s for a fact

 

[Rob Foster]

By gas explosion Rob?

No by the application of loads of extra money into my bank account. We have sold the land for the building of 12 houses

 

[Rob Foster]

The most popular boiler in 2017 was the ideal with 33,000 units being shifted every month
I know we pay for this market info as a company

That is another reason why Vaillant a d so many other companies will reduce or even stop shipping across to uk. Brexit is the main factor and according to my friend in Germany all parts like pcbs won’t be accessible. They’ll ha e difficulties to get hold of boilers of Vaillant, Worcester and viessmann. There is a lot more reasons but would take me a while to list them all.

Money always speaks,I really cannot see any big outfit abandoning the 3 rd largest boiler market in the world, we’re there is dosh there is always a way. Been in a number of board rooms recently no one seems overly bothered. Was in a small business meeting last Friday morning at 07.30 where regional govenor of the Bank of England spoke , for nearly one hour, no panic he said it might be a bit bumpy for a week or two
This is mostly press .....BBC speculation
