Whatever you have fitted a system that olds gonna need a good clean

 

[higgins79]

What are the problems with the solo ?

 

[higgins79]

What model GLOW-WORM would i require for this open vent system i am replacing an ideal mexico super cf75 with vertical flue

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

What are the problems with the solo ?

every part of it

 

[higgins79]

What boiler would you recommend?

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

TBH i dont like worcesters and its hard for me to say this but when it comes to heat only you may be better off with a worcester over a baxi,even the new ideal logic is more reliable than the solo IMHO

Some of the. boilers ie worcester seem to have a slightly better build quality, but in my opinion I find there aren't a lot of difference's. There isn't as much to go wrong compared to say a combi. its the age old argument and everyone will say something different for one reason or another. I know people to swear by one and someone else to hate it

Would a glow-worm would be a decent boiler for example

 

[marleyco]

I wouldn't touch a glowworm, have fitted a heat only can't see the hype, keep to a name you know if your not comfortable, I've had no problems with baxi solo or worcester heat only. Worcester Bosch speaks for its self. Baxi for me is the same and great customer support. I would fit a worcester over a baxi in your case. Remember about a pump over run on the worcester

xwhat about a system boiler, you will probably get a lot more recommendation's here.
