Alright all I normally fit viessmann boilers for my cutomers but have now had enough with them at viessmann and with the boiler it self and I am looking at either worcester or vaillant to start selling to my customers. Which one is the better and why.

Meny Thanks.
 
BAXI DUOTEC the other 2 are either very plastic with flashing blue lights or to german and complex plus they keep blowing up heat exchanger gaskets
 
I agree with gas man, fitted loads of baxi duo tecs, really good boiler. Worcester are total junk, pin hole in plastic flow manifold-water everywhere-a ******* to fix...nice
 
If it’s your own home and you are going to live there, buy the best boiler you can afford. The extra in the cost of the boiler is small in comparison with the fitting labour cost (even your own). Sadly and cynically its a different story if you are choosing a boiler to repair the heating in a place that's to be sold.
 
I'm interested to know why you're fed up with Viessman.

I personally fit Vaillant as my first choice, I wouldn't fit Worcester unless I could help it,big problems with frozen condensates amongst other things.
 
between vaillant and worcester i believe both have advantages and disadvantages

vaillants are a bit of a struggle to fit i find, tails to close together to get spanners in comfortably and awkward to fit, but good boiler and designed to be super easy to work on afterwards, changing a HW heat exchanger is a simple job for example, customer service is mediocre, be careful even if u tick the box on registering the warrenty that you will take up the servicing then they still send a letter to customer offering there services etc.

Worcester

agreed alot of plastic inside but i am fitting alot of these at the moment, i believe a quality boiler with a a name the customer feels confident with and a 5 year warrenty with excellent after sales help!!
very easy to fit! telescopic flue etc

defo more awkward to work on after!


And as a cheaper option to customers i offer a Main combi he

i quite these no frills boilers pritty decent boiler which is basically a baxi,

managed to get 2yr warrenty and loads of free spares out of the rep in my area aswell,,

bloody heavy though lol
