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

[brian2416]

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!

INTERGAS less to go wrong as no complicated wb pcb/computers in it.

Ri has 1 PCB LP and no computer, along with a fan, gas valve and thermistor just like intergas but better:grin::grin:

WB SOLD thousands LP of greenstars going back 7 years, how Intergas have been sold and fitted?

Give it time they will do a Glenn Dimplex!

its like saying.......Brown rover 75's are the most reliable cars on the road because you never see them in a garage :grin:

Going to stir things up a little i like the logic heat only range British made easy to get hold of parts and not bad technical help line as well

Could be due to how many are installed Worcester Bosch have a big market share as we all know. don't no what market share inter gas have but would assume not very big so this may be the reason .i did see intergas at a trade show 2 years ago and there products looked ok.not ever seen one fitted or no any one who has install one .

Not sure on sales, probably 1000s as intergas been going over 40 years and wb 51 years, so both well established companies, but intergas are expanding out of their home market as they are growing still
