Stan, Are you asking what we would put in for a landlord or what the landlord would like us to put in?
I would fit either a Potterton Promax Combi or a Vaillant Ecotec Pro.
Heat only - Probably a WB Greenstar Ri .

 

[SafeGasInstall]

my Q is what do landlords are happy to get as they all on the cheap as possible all the time !

 

[boblydon]

I would fit a Remeha regardless, obviously a combi or system depending on what was required.

Landlords in my experience seem to prefer combi's

[SafeGasInstall]

what sort of price are those remeha boilers - for combi standard flue and timer/clock ?

halstead ace at my local yesterday £444 inc not my choice but cheap as chips for l/lord

 

[boblydon]

Might be cheap as chips to buy, have you ever had to repair one or buy parts for them........horrendous!!!!

First time you have to change parts on these cheap boilers the initial cost saving goes out the window, the parts are ridiculous prices.

I can't remember exactly how much but got quoted a horrendous price fir a Suniar Duvall exp vessel. It was cheaper for me to supply and install a remote one than the price of the replacement one was for me to buy!

I can only shudder at the thought of a gas valve or PCB.

Had the same problem with Halstead, thermistor £23 if i remember correctly

its easy to work out which boiler a landlord will chose look at the price the lower the intial price the better the land lord will like it

this was my thought,
you win the job and service for 2 years, the landlord gets someone else in @.49p cheaper for an anual service.
by then you have your fill and move on?.
