Iqe 10 year warranty

[fubar1000]

Afternoon all, just had a leaflet from B&Q with some boilers n stuff, on the back it's got a I Q E boiler with 10 years warranty

They are not bad on price 25kw combi £670 (think without flue, clock etc etc)

Anyone had any dealings with these boilers????

Just can't see how they can do a boiler with 10 years warranty

10 year warranty maybe on heat exchanger but can't see it for parts & labour certainly not at that price

A consortium.......

"B&Q will partner new brand iQE exclusively to launch a new range of products such as boilers, heating controls, solar thermal, solar PV systems and a range of installed home insulation products.
The brand has been developed by a consortium of leading manufacturers and academics from Loughborough University, experts in energy efficiency. "

Boiler made by a committee....I doubt it !

I was thinking the same thing

 

[fubar1000]

All it's says on the add is '5 year warranty + additional 5 years free, parts n labour'

Just can't see it myself, what's the oldest combi boilers some of you's guys seen? Might get the odd couple that are 10 years old, but I would think the old 1's have had pumps, diverter valves, gas valves etc etc

the idea of b and q fitting boilers scares me, i had a friend who only ever worked as an occasional labourer on building sites, he works for them as a building expert now
