i've fitted them before they were even called alpha, they used to be ocean alpha and i've still got a few on my books 10 years on with no problems at all

They are OK, and there are better boilers around for similar money, but as for reliability - they have only been out for a couple of months so who knows how good or bad they are,

The first one we fitted leaked, needed a manufacture visit!! 🙁 Grrrr

We have nearly stopped fitting Alphas now, (unless the cust wants one) and we have been fitting Ideal Logic Plus combi's, have fitted 12 so far and all good (touches wood) LOL,

Very similar in price, good fluing options and accessories and Ideal even gives us a couple of ££ to!
