Hi folks, new on here but been reading the forums as a guest with great interest....
Am about to replace the boiler in our new house and was hoping for some insight into possible options. Am looking at a "heat only" boiler (rest of system good with recent new DHW cylinder so replacing archaic Gloworm floor standing boiler (circa 70% efficiency with new wall hung in kitchen) and narrowed it down as follows:-
Remeha Avanta 24V
Valliant Ecotec 428
Viessmann Vitodens 100-W compact
I am tending towards Remeha or Viessmann as have read a few posts on here about Valliant problems. Also, looking for a very compact unit and Remeha and Viessmann fit the bill. Viessman have the 5 year warranty compared to 5 parts/2 labour for Remeha so much the same in that respect. Sounds like both are much the same for parts availability ?
I discounted the following after reading up on advice from this forum:-
Ideal Logic+ 24 (actually looks good with 5 yr warranty, compact size, direct rear flue etc but all the negative stuff on Ideal put me off...?)
WB Greenstar 24Ri (wasn't convinced)
Baxi Solo HE A (read some horror stories on here)
and Potterton Promax SL (not convinced, Potterton seem a little behind the times?)
Would appreciate any thoughts or experiences before I take the plunge.
Thanks
Dave
