boiler install

[pauls]

im looking for a cheap but reliable combi boiler. its landlord territory.

been asked to quote for a building that is being converted into 2 seprate masionett type 1 bed flats. doing all plumbing work and installing heating system. so im looking for a reasnable reliable and easy to install boiler.

any recommendations.

 

[Barry98]

depends on the budget really imho

Main, very reliable and the best value in my opinion, great customer service too. However a little awkward to install at first and they are very heavy. Or maybe a Ferroli seeing as it's a landlord though would not reccomend one to a homeowner. Ferroli's are cheap and very easy to install, could make the difference between getting the job and not.

Totally agree with Mike S, the Main boilers are reliable and come with the full Baxi Heatteam warranty back up. The combi is basically tthe same as the Baxi 105HE.

could not agree more but i think mike s is referring to the band a main which sadly IMHO wont be as good as the band b

 

[mike_s]

yep referring to band a eco, fitted a few of them recently but fitted loads of band b he's. Was mostly doing worcesters but now unless customer insists it's main, our local main rep is absolutely fantastic, the worcester one never gets back to us.
Why do you say the band a won't be as good?

i was invited to give my opinion on the band a to see what i thought of it honestly its a more complex boiler than the band b so in theory wont last as long but time will tell,i was not impressed by its design think thats the last time BAXI ask me LOL

ave been mainly sticking to potterton only probs i find is sometime have fun with the jig lining up on the 28he heatmax same as baxi anyway

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

the heat max is a DUOTEC which in turn is also a gold and promax very good boilers if the jig plays up slacken off the back nuts and dont put the bottom jig fixing screws in until the jigs lined up

 

[metaldust9]

gasman do you no why theres a shamfered edge on one side of the nut on the 15 mm is it for a diffrent model ie one nut fits all ,i always put it facing the wall so flat edge on the jig

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

cant say i have noticed is it on the cold inlet or dhw?

selco doing 24kw heatline capriz inc flue n clock for £524 inc vat wouldn't fit 1 for customer but a landlord trying to batter you on price then i might well consider it. they are also doing 28 kw ravenheat for £569(ithink) inc flue clock neither my preferred choice though but if someones on a budget then what can you do
