Anyone fitted IQE boilers from screwfix.

[thompsonbrown]

In screwfix today and the manager was trying to push iqe boilers. There now half the price they were last year, Could be a sign that there rubbish but £500 for 35kw combi with a 10 year parts and labour guarantee could be worth a punt. Like to here from any fitters who have used these.

Cheers for the reply Shaun. You must be getting a better deal on baxis than I do, I pay almost double that for something like a 28kw Baxi platinum. I know the Baxi/mains are a bit cheaper but I only get a 2yr guarantee with them.

Not sure that we are that great at Baxis at the moment Shaun, but thanks for the recommend.

Thats a pretty good price for a 35kw combi with that warranty that the OP mentioned. Yes its a Sime re-badged, and I bet its non-ErP clearance, but then we are still selling loads of pre-ErP Ideals, Glowworms and Vaillants.

What's the deal with the pre erp talk... The Worcesters that I'm fitting are exactly the same, only they now come with a little A rated sticker in the box...? Am I missing something?

Thanks for the Williams reminder Shaun.
Getting back to them IQE boilers, the manager at screwfix said he would be willing to offer more discount than they were priced in store if I was interested, so ray might be right about non-ErP clearance?

Don't forget the extra £50+ on the invoice! Thats a very important little feature.

Worcester Ri dosent have a pump

 

[hammers4spanner]

Does anyone care about ERP?

 

[Ray Stafford]

There was no change to heat only boilers to meet ErP.

Some changed anyway, because the manufacturer changed the whole range - so, for example, Vaillant and Glowworm heat-only have changed for that reason, not specifically for ErP.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

yea but if you fit a stnd pump not erp comp in erp mind why do you think there fainting out 50/20 pumps

 

[Ray Stafford]

Does anyone care about ERP?

Housing associations, new builds and the suchlike

Not according to Vaillant. However, I am with their sales director and commercial director tomorrow, so will confirm.
