New Boiler: Alpha vs Intergas

[scott2hot]

Hello All,

I'm having a new heating system fitted, the gas fitter has recommended an Alpha 34 whereas I was planning on having an Intergas combi fitted. I've tried searching for reviews on the Alpha combis but have not had much luck. What are your opinions on these two combi manufacturers,

Many thanks in advance.

I can't comment on Intergas, but I'd stay clear of Alpha

My tip would be not alpha! Unless you own a good supply of buckets.

The intergas is a good solid piece of kit if you can put up with the looks.

intergas all the way im over ho

Intergas +1
good piece of kit.
alpha spares alone are far more expensive than most makes.

why does anyone consider looks to be a problem with intergas, if looks were an issue 80 percent of the forum members wouldnt have a partner 🙂

Harsh, very harsh 🙂

 

[lame plumber]

really, depends if your in the 20% or not 🙂

Steer clear of Alpha! Intergas are a fair boiler, but very amateur looking.

I second that, but looking into becoming an alpha repair specialist - scrap man !

I'm registered blind and married my wife because she as woman in Braille across her chest!

 

[lame plumber]

I never noticed that 🙂

Alpha = pure leaking Tat with expensive spares(which you will need plenty of)

Intergas for me

 

[scott2hot]

Thanks for all the replies, looks likes its going to an intergas one, I was going for a Baxi Duotec but was impressed by the intergas at the merchants, a lot less to go wrong but for similar money.

Get the BAXI platinum, Ten year warranty

 

[Leo21]

I though it was Alpha versus Intergas! Not versus Baxi. That's a different comparison.

No checked defo just a transvestite

 

[Ermintrude]

Impressed by intergas? Or the sales pitch from merchant who has the biggest margin on intergas?
