Intergas Boilers flue integrity

[richard978]

Do the newer intergas boilers have air / flue integrity test point on the flue. The last one I got didn't but I was told they were planning to change the design.

Thanks, I take you install these boilers / registered installer. How do you rate them in terms of use and reliability?

I've only installed two and normally install viessmann 100w these days. The reason I ask is that someone was slating them in a merchant last month.

I've not had much experience of them and the only negative feedback from the two installs I've done is that the hot water is too hot, which was easily resolved.

My only other concern is hard water because I live in Derbyshire and kettles scale up in twelve months and even my own boiler has gone through plate heat ex changers every two years even with inline water softener. With the Integas, this would be terminal unless I was to fit a proper rechargable water softener.

I like them personally and have fitted several different models now you do get a slug of really hot water which could be a issue with small children but on the whole I like them , regarding scale I fit a hydropath h38 this keeps the pipes clear . Kop
