Worcester Bosch Greenstar 12Ri or Viessnann Vitodens 100-W 13KW

Hi all,

Need your professional help in selecting the best Heat-Only boiler to replace my ageing Baxi Solo in my 3 Bedroom House 7 radiators.

Have done some research on the web and have come up with a match between Viessmann or WB.

Price not a issue, just want the best Heat-Only boiler.

Both offer extensive warranties 5/7 years.

I slightly favour the WB because of it's high profile in this country and a very good back-up system in my area, i.e plenty of accredited WB installers in this area.

Your expert views would be much appreciated.


Kind Regards

Brian

Have you asked your installer? I favour Intergas at the moment, they need to be fitted by a Platinum 5 installer to get the 5 year warranty though. Not a great fan of Worcester now, I think they are trading on past glories although the Ri range are better than the combis because they are not stuffed full of so much plastic. Not familiar with the Viessman.

Viessmann over the WB every day of the week for me.

Both are made of expensive German plastic the vitodens 100 have as well a long rubber hose like a motor car, no no for me.
I will go for intergas.

WB Ri all day long with 7 year warranty, fitted hundreds between us, very few issues!

Just look at the heat exchanger / build quality, it is got to be a Viessmann.
Hope I am not proved wrong as put one in my own house !

I only use Worcester and Intergas for heat only installs. Very little issues with both.

As vern says the Worcester ri range are great little boilers! They get my vote too.

Hey the RI ain't perfect(early fan problems all sorted now) but WITH A 7 year warranty i wouldn't worry, mate fitted a load of Baxi heat only's as no pump overrun to sort, 2-3 years in customers have give him serious grief, boilers now out of warranty too!

They ain't bad Chris I know one of their lead engineers, combi plates block up and rubber hoses from hex, not seen their heat only yet!
