If you feel very rich, then you can always buy Worcester with aluminum which will corode in few years time. I prefer to make smart purchase to avoid such issues.

you wont have more than 10 - 12 years out of your boiler these days (combi) realistically

 

[Depo]

You can predict future?

Still - why would you buy inferior boiler if you have choice of other better ones?

nope just going on current models and there not inferior main brand boilers

Worcester has aluminum heat exchanger, consumes more electricity, noisier. You don`t call it inferior?

They are hugely popular because installers can make more money on them +they invest ton of money in marketing. It doesn`t make boiler itselft any better.

Why are you arguing the toss with guys who fit and work on these things day in, day out?

 

[Depo]

This is not an argument, but discussion - whole idea of such forum. Facts are facts, I have compared boiler specs.

And why installers fit Worcester? Because parts are widely available, better profit margins compared to other makes, better tech support maybe. But again - it doesn`t actually mean its best boiler out there. I can understand its not easy to accept this fact, because you might be fitting 10 Worcesters a week.

😀 there not nosier,alu conducts heat better and doesnt matter if alu or ss both do the same and work in the same principle, and i bet if you ran each make of main man boiler you wont find much difference in elec cost

i can get parts for any boiler within a couple of days so that doesnt come into context to that, viessmann commercial i have found have the best tech support so far, and not greater profit margins as there getting other quotes from people installer other boilers eg ferroli, Vokera, and Aristons just to name a few

Just going to bat this away sharply Worcester have an awful profit margin for the installer.

I haven't read the whole thread nor do I intend to but personally Worcester are far from the best boiler out there.

But within few years you will have to replace it.

How 45 against 38 dB is not noisier? You might think some 25w is not a big deal. But how much in terms of money is that let`s say over 5 year period? A lot.

HE +extra consumption = not the best deal. If Worcester would cost something like 20% less compared to others - yes it would make sense, but it doesn`t.

 

[IDCHAPPY]

Worcester and profit in the same sentence is non compatible. Have you checked the price of them?

how do you know them figures are right/ same conditions unless there in the same room test is invalid

 

[Depo]

Yes I have checked everything - specs and prices. They all cost pretty much the same, but specs do vary.
