Boiler recommendation?

[macka09]

Hi all. Any recommendations for a 24kw combi and basic controls on a bit of a budget? Don't want anything cheap but rubbish.

What controls?

It’s your call. 1 or 7 days? RF or wired?

Intergas rapid

7 day. Rf. preferably. Only ever used Worcester boilers with the dt10 or 20 I think.

You could also look at the Vaillant pro 24

I only fit Worcester usually so I'm competent with fitting there controls as most of them plug straight onto the boiler. Haven't really fitted anything else.

It depends on how tight the budget is, and your idea of "rubbish". You aren't going to get top of the line stuff at budget prices, so you have to make some trade-offs.

You could do worse than look at an Ideal Independent C24 or a Glowworm Flexicom CX24 with a Salus RT500RF programmable stat if money is really tight.

 

[macka09]

This guy doesn't even want a programmer, he's asked if he can just control it off the boiler.

Baxi duo tec with integral mechanical timer.

 

[macka09]

Is it not against regs to not install temp control (stat) or are the boiler controls enough?

 

[macka09]

Sorry for all the stupid questions.

Strictly speaking you need a positive boiler interlock, but a simple hardwired roomstat can give you that. ALthough it may cost more in labour, cable and clips to fit a £10 hardwired stat compared to a cheap RF model.
