Grant VortexBlue Oil Boiler

[Bogart]

Why do you think they can offer a 10 yr warranty on Blue boilers where the rest get 5 year max?

Firebird, the new models are lovely. The new Elco burner is a thing of beauty.

Use an S plan rather than a Y plan. BTW with the Grant Vortex Blueflame models, using a Grant G1 accredited installer gives you a full 10 year parts and labour warranty.

Using a firebird VIP installer also gives you the 10year. Not just grant offer this. Id recommend you look into and try the new elco burner on the firebird. The new combi is a thing of beauty.

No oil combis are things of beauty, they're all hateful

Amen to that!

And the firebird combis you still need to fit additional expansion vessel which nobody ever does so they will just leak like a sieve. The grant combis now come with a 24ltr I believe.

I wouldn't touch Firebird with the proverbial end of the stick. Grant Blueflame all the way. If it goes wrong, everything is covered fo 10 years

It's great that you actually install and recommend the boiler that I am intending to have installed
One quick question for you:
We have recently installed a water softener
So for filled up the new unvented 'system' boiler (not a Combi) would you use soft water or the regular mains water?
We live in a very hard water area

 

[WHPES]

For system water it doesn't really matter. It's not going to be constantly refreshing but you keep the same water in for ever until you come to do any work on the system. Always be sure to add inhibitor. If you constantly have to keep topping up, then it may cause a problem, but if that is ever the case, you need to address the root cause anyway.
