new combi boiler

by **GEOJUL123** » Wed Mar 11, 2009 8:58 am

I am replacing my old combi-boiler with a new one, Just looking for advice on which is best boiler, I have three quotes from RGI's one has quoted to fit a Valiant, one for a Vokera and the third and Ideal. All 'A' rated boilers and all three quotes include TRV's on radiators and progamable thermostat control. and there is only £150 difference between cheapest and dearest quote , so is just a decision which of the three boilers has the best reputaion for quality and reliability??

Any comments appreciated.

Vaillant by far the best.

Agreed,
Ideal = no way

Same for Vokera, when you start looking for an RGI to repair the boiler, as soon as you say Vokera their interest in the job will become non-existant.

If you pick up an Ideal you will certainly have to replace it again within 4-5 years, especially if it is an isar, the heat exchanger wears away.

yes to: Vaillant, worcester, remeha-broag.
