Main

[cdodds2004]

anybody else think the main range is bloody excellent value for money.

im so impressed with them im going to install a main system eco and unvented cylinder in the in-laws.

i think the eco combi is brilliant value for money, reliable, easy to work on! what more do we actually want out of a combi.??

good back up aswell, 3 year warranty would be brilliant!

Agree great boilers

Have put quite a few in and never had a problem

Would put one in my house no problem

 

[grahamgas]

:iagree:

 

[cdodds2004]

glad its not just me! they are heavy though lol 🙂 and the warranty sticker could litterally be anywere in the box sometimes lol

 

[dancinplumba]

agree with whats been said, but have you thought about weather compensation/room temp modulation. not sure if this boiler has this type of control capabilities.
these type of controls will help save inlaws money. and can be added later.
just a thought 🙂

 

[cdodds2004]

not sure if they can have them either, but baaahh the inlaws are saving enough having me supply and fit it! 😉

 

[Leo21]

Going against the flow here, aren't mains just cheap basis with less warranty. They come with free faulty fans pcb error codes that don't exist. Cue the abuse!

 

[buckley plumb]

good boilers dont break down as much as the new baxi duotec 2

 

[julesverne]

cant fault them for there money fitted around 15 no problems as of yet.

 

[Leo21]

How long have they been in? Not as bad as some of the cheap tat out there admittedly but not great either.

 

[cdodds2004]

fitted around 3o ish over 3 years and not a single problem as of yet that i no about! no fault code issues or fan, had one with a faulty integral timer from new but had a spare on me van,

have almost done the full ch install last week and I have my first main combi25he to go in next week ! will post to give you my opinion on it !

 

[SafeGasInstall]

installed 25he today !
negative
-too heavy how a 25kw boiler can be that heavy
-too chunky
-too difficult to lined up boiler with jig ,I end up loosing back nut to adjust pipe to connect to boiler
-could not work out how to connect mechanical timer to the 5 cables (did not even say which goes where have to speak to manufacture )
over all for £580+vat I can not slug it for long
will be fitting flue on wednesday and commission it then

vailant and wb are well easier to install

 

[cdodds2004]

i agree worcester are easier to install,, read the little booklet for the integral clock it has which wire goes were! jig is awkward i undo all the back nuts then line everything up,

and TOTALLY AGREE WITH THE WEIGHT ISSUE!

but for the money they are pritty good! and you paid what i pay for 30kw there, flue and clock included!

was it not a eco25? because im sure the 25he aint band A >?

 

[SafeGasInstall]

sorry mate its a 25 eco

 

[SafeGasInstall]

will get book out now as i looked but did not go through the booklet fully and the prv is a bit of a strange thing same as old baxi !

 

[Leo21]

Clock. blue 2 /brown 1 /black 3 and 4.

 

[SafeGasInstall]

chers Leo21 you must have fitted few of them I guess 🙂

 

[cdodds2004]

was going to say that but wasnt 100 percent lol. it is in there like 1 line explaining it lol! register it on the works website for 2year gurantee, 🙂. nip up the blanking plates on the cold and return were a integral loop would go as sometimes i have been to these with a bit scale after a couple years so i always nip em up just incase now. But seriously man for the money you wont get any call backs!

 

[Leo21]

Except if there eye sight isn't 110% and they can't work the minuscule timer!

did you pre pipe to the jig then hang the boiler to it. i did this once and struggled to get the nuts on. if fitting one now i hang on jig then pipe it

So chaps, from what you're all saying here, you do not just stick to the same boilers. For the past 3yrs, the guy i have worked with has only installed Vailiants and veismann. But they are quite expensive.

So now am on my own, I would like to know how you decide which boiler to install? Obviously the cheaper the boiler the lower the quote. So how do you go about choosing your boiler?
