    New combi choice - manufacturer with the 'best' controls?

    Hi all. Asking for a friend who is getting a new combi. They'd short-listed the WB Greenstar 4000 and Vaillant ecoTec Plus 832, and asked for my thoughts. I didn't have any, other than to ask what controls they were planning to use with them, and that's when I opened a can of worms. The...

    Vaillant Sustain 28kw Combi Heat Input

    Could anyone tell me whether the Vaillant Sustain heat input is noted in gross or net please. I was sure it was NET but someone has said it's gross which makes no sense at all. I work all my gas rates to NET so if I'm wrong my gas rates will be way out. I've included the data badge.
