New reliable combi, what would you fit in your own home.

[genguskarn]

Hi Forum
After having to call out an engineer (again) over the Christmas period to repair (again) our 6 year old Ideal C28 mini combi boiler. The list of replacement parts are as follows

1. 4 water flowswitches, the plastic housing breaks off
2. 1 airflow switch
3. 1 complete PCB
4. 1 DHW diverting valve repair kit

I have decided the best course of action is to replace the boiler.

If you had the choice of any boiler make (upto 800pounds + installation), what would you fit in your own home for best efficiency, reliability and value for money.

Best Regards

Sean

Vaillant all day long - easy to use, very reliable and if something does go wrong I have never had a problem getting parts or if under warranty never had a problem getting the direct vaillant lads out to fix fault.

remeha + intergas

 

[Blackcatgas]

Viessmann, Vaillant, (looking @ £1000 for those 2) Alpha as a budget choice.

Anything that is coal fired would be my first choice

LOl well I suppose its reliable and will last longer than 12yrs.

Hi
Thanks for your all your replies, I think I will increase my budget to around 1000pounds, what is a reasonable price (labour only) for changing out an old boiler and installing/commissioning the new boiler in same location.

Best regards

Where do you find does the best rates on intergas and remeha boilers gents. Are you buying online or is your local merchant getting them in for you?

 

[quality]

Local independant for me

 

[ratrace]

How do you find the cost of them quality, against a comparable WB/Vaillant etc?

 

[ecowarm]

just comparing prices now online/ local merchant for 24/18 hre intergas

Local merchant beat online company, delivered tomorrow and will be fitted Wednesday

i'm really pleased I put a Remeha 35c in, I think it was about £800 and cost £400 or £500 to swap out - cash friday job, was meant to be the boss and mate - turned out to be just mate - boss turned up at end to do the gas and commissioning.

Been really reliable for past 2 years and they have a great industrial reputation.

 

[ecowarm]

Just to compare with other boilers, weather compensation sensor for an intergas is less than £20 trade

 

[aggis]

Remeha 39c went in my house a few months ago, should have done it sooner....

 

[SafeGasInstall]
