which is best, Vokera, Potterton or Baxi duo tec

[Kyle87]

Are vokeras that bad. I went on a couple of free days with vokera in Birmingham and yea I know it's more or less just a sales pitch but there seemed some good points to the vokeras.

Like a rear flueing option
Huge bore on hex even though its ali
The technology looks pretty good

I'm new to the game so I don't know what the reliability of these things are.

Cheap for a reason, and parts are ludicrously expensive.

Well hopefully I won't make the mistake of fitting one if I get enough ppl here telling me not to.

As its been said it often is horses for courses
But sometimes it's genuine folly to fit a certain brand

I enjoy fitting wb cdi
My gas man loves them

He wouldn't touch an ideal logic with a barge pole.....others here love them

I personally want to give the logic+ a shot

It's the easiest boiler in the world to fit, and I haven't had a breakdown on any of mine yet.

 

[Ermintrude]

Logics are good much much better than any Worcester produced in the last 10 years. Baxi duotec over the potterton and Vokera though

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

duotec HEA or potterton titanium both the same boiler,both with 7 year warrenty,both are very reliable both make Worcesters look like a toy boiler because that what it is a plastic pile of tat thats hard to work on,vokeras are gay

Fitted a Baxi duo last week in the words of louis welsh " i like it alot"

 

[gerrynortheast]

Sorry to be a pain guys but an installer suggested doing a chemical system flush after installing the new combi.

I asked, can the boiler be used during the week leaving it soaking? Is a powerflush not quicker and more recommended?

This is the reply I received...

Yes the more you use the boiler the better for the chemical to work.
Powerflushing actually takes a lot longer (in total hours spent) if it gets done properly. A chemical soak gets deeper into the hard grime when left for a few days and with plenty of heat.

Please can you guys advise if the above makes sense??

Thanks

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

chemical flush,rads off,flushed trough,and he pipework flushed,filter and inhibitor fitted

 

[jefaz]

I would fit the duo tec....not a bad price too. Does that include filter,wireless programmer,TRV's??

I would do chemical flush BEFORE new boiler fitted. Why introduce new boiler to shizen system????

He didn’t mention taking off the rads. But is it ok to run chemicals and cr@p through a new boiler system?

Vokera a are gay is the best and most technichalist term I've ever came across for describing a boiler lol

It's ok to run chemicals through but I wouldn't be putting any poop near new boiler.

You wouldn't put old oil in a new car

 

[TBServices]

It depends on the system as to what kind of flush you will require.

 

[gerrynortheast]

Would a powerflush be just as bad a chemical system flush. Assuming the boiler needs to be running?

It’s just that the existing back boiler is DEAD!

Is a power or chemical flush usually done through the old boiler BEFORE installing a new bolier?

If so what about the fact that the existing boiler id dead??

Thanks

 

[lame plumber]

if your putting in any boiler esp a wb that has a plate heat exchanger, get it power flushed if the bbu is dead. Or fit an intergas and flush on completion as there isnt a lot to block!
