lads....my mate has agreed to a new boiler as i the dhw heat ex he requires to repair his boiler is obsolete. He is looking at selling his house so only wants a cheap boiler fitted....i only ever fit vaillant and baxi so don't know much about the cheaper boilers so any input would be greatful.

all prices include flue,clock and vat from my local supplier

biasi riva plus 24 £505
sime format 25 £540
ferroli modena 25 £570
biasi riva plus 28 £535
ariston e-combi 24 £590
sime format 30 £585
biasi riva advance 32 £649
main eco 25 £585
ferroli fertech 31 £479
pro combi exculsive £495

im leaning towards the main.....but look at the price of the ferroli fertech!!! even though i hate ferroli...blluuurrggghhhhh

The pro combi (exclusive) without a doubt. Rebadged ideal logic, fitted several now including in my own house. From experience I would avoid anything by ferroli. However if selling the house does it matter?

Where can you get the main Eco at £585? There was one of them fitted in the place I bought last year absolutely no complaints with it

The ferolli Modena is two years parts and labour and five year parts only. Mains would be my choice of a bad bunch.

I'm always suspicious of reps telling me things, Iike to have it in writing. Also reps never seem to last long and will say anything to sell there product.
