Boiler recommendations/garage installs?

[macka09]

Hi all. I’m just wondering whether most of you are sticking to a particular brand at the moment and if so, which and why?
Also are many of you fitting pipe stats when installing in cold garages/areas or just relying on the boilers frost protection?
Controls of choice?
Cheers folks

Vaillant and ideal for me.
I just insulate the pipework well and let the boiler protect itself.

Vaillant for me. If it is in a garage, I assess whether or not the garage is likely to reach less than 3 or 4 degrees at the worst time of year. If it might I would install a frost stat to protect boiler and pipework. If not, leave the boiler to protect itself.

Cheers mate. The way this winter has been it stands a very good chance of going below 3 degrees in there.

Longest warranty for the cheapest price (from large manufacturers only).

Currently loving the Ideal Max's.

Lots of lagging.

Vaillant for me. On occasion a Keston if the flue is an issue.

I like the Baxi range but they’re not self modulating. Vaillant are on the expensive side tbh I think.
