save your money buy a proper boiler,heard a rumor and i dont know if its true that ferroli are pulling out of the uk because of tat products

I like ferroli boilers they break down all the time

If i dont do it someone else will. works work and business is business. good to be competitive. some people are happy with tat and have a tight budget. some people will do research and go for something decent. but at the end of the day the ive been been to baxi mains worcester bosch and theyve been chuffed after 5-6 years . ive seen ferrolis ravenheats (must admit they are pants) going strong after 10 years with no ill signs. i think sometimes its down to how its been installed and how often it serviced and the system as a whole etc.

that is cheap, i quoted for a cheap boiler and still didnt get the job i dont think, the woman thought she was doing me a favour as i've just started working for myself, cheeky tight arsed git she's not doing me any favours i was earning the same labour wise and not doing it as a homer as she thought !

I wouldn't worry about it Gerry, if she wants a cheap boiler she'll pay for it in the long run anyway.. most of the time I say if they want a cheap job, then I'm not interested as it wastes my time going back to fix it and costs them more, most of them see sense but you still get the odd feckwit.

how can it cost you to fix it if its under warranty. and if its not in warranty do you do it for free. myself when i quote for a boiler i always giuve them 3 options. then they cant blame you then when they take the cheap option. if they go for the cheap option and it breaks then at the end of the day you win anyway because you get the cash for fixing it. this sounds harsh but if you warn them before hand you cant be held to blame when it goes belly up. Although i say this i know some custs do not think like that and in there eyes it's always your fault.

In my eyes its not worth the hassle and it costs my time having to explain to the customer that it was their decision to fit the cheap boiler. It also risks my reputation as customers who often decide they know best are also very quick to point the finger and blame the installer.
