ADVISE PLEASE - What replacement boiler for Ferroli DOMIcompact F24B ?

[bilabonic]

Who's right here boys, conflicting answers again ?

How is it a lot of work just putting flue horizontal ? Most are anyway..Just needs extra length kit.

What about access in loft, its 3 ft deep in insulation, plus has two 45 deg bends...

The GSE who's gonna do it is right 😀

 

[bilabonic]

Don't think my regular plumber is interested !! Not ringing me back !!!
Think i will post on Facebook as there's few of the 'boys' i know who are GSE..

It's a full day just doing the flue horizontal

Need 2 45
3-4m lengths
A load of clips 5-6
And to core a new hole

Also needs to be a min 300 mm away from the window edge also a min of 300 away from the boundary

Do you mean x2 90 degs if still on current protruding wall?

4 m length is nothing, plus couple of clips, Plus 4" core is nothing imo, done plenty over the years....

Or the boiler could be moved to the right (off the protruding wall) and copper adjusted, it normal 90 deg from flue and straight 3m run ??

45s and correct

No but at around 50 a m it adds up

Then 50 for the bends etc

Still takes time tho

I've had a reply of my GSE !! He said he would replace existing Flue of ladders as you described....

Thanks mate..

 

[bilabonic]

Not ONE GSE has recommended routing flu through wall.....All want to fit Baxi/7 Year or ATAG as higher price..

 

[bilabonic]

Meeting two GSE today, both fit new flu through roof as its easily done by ladder (their words).

ONE of them mentioned that Baxi are phasing out the HE series and stated the new 600 series is better and MUCH smaller and 30Kw !!!

Never heard of them so getting quote for both...

Anyone advise on these ??

Thanks

Duo tech or 600

600 series is a new boiler few problems so far but ok

I'm getting price on both, the 630 (30Kw) and the usual 28Kw Duo Tec.

[ShaunCorbs]

Each to their own mate. Not had issues with the ones I’ve fitted. Must be bad luck on his part.

 

[bilabonic]

Well it's CHEAPER to get a Baxi 630 fitted than an Baxi ECOtech 28 !!

PLUS waiting on price for an ATAG, which looks like will be couple quid more than the both of the above !!!

Plumbers had BETTER screwdrivers than me !! Wera ...As a spark i was offended...lol

Crazy !!!

 

[Harvest Fields]

Baxi do not make ecotec mate.
