Which Boiler?.

[Susan Hoare]

Help please!
I am having to replace my central heating and have been offered a Worcester 30SI with 5yr warranty or BAXI Duotech A rated boiler with 7yr warranty. I really don't know what to do, any help gratefully appreciated. Thank you.

 

[kay-jay]

there are better options than either of those....

 

[Barry98]

sometimes it just comes down to money which can you afford. welcome to the forum too

I like fitting intergas as they have less parts to go wrong, warranty is 5 years in uk, much more in netherlands where they come from so the manufacturers think they are reliable and they are mid range price wise they all have A rating now to meet regs

Agreed.

Yes a WB CDI compact get a worcester installer for a 7 year warranty......I hear the hot waters none too good on those Ideals :drool5:

I would go with the worcester out the two. As said there are better boilers, but its a opinion.
worcesters are a easy sell as they spend a fortune on advertising, their website is very customer friendly

I always go for viessmann. I have tried several in recent months but for me price, reliability and build quality the Viesmann is the best all round. I'd stay we'll clear of baxi. I don't like worcester personally but it's not a bad boiler.

Right pal don't say anymore this is a public forum, work you post count up, then ask for permission for a key to the arms, this can only be read by members etc...

I am sure you know the easy way, but for others, close cold isolation valve to boiler underneath, open all the hot outlets, after the initial surge it should be dead, if you have water coming out of any hot outlet including showers, bidets etc, you have crossflow, find by isolating each outlet in turn, until no cold comes from hot! Fix problem outlet job done!

 

[Danv44444]

Why do u have to do that vern?
