Intergas demonstration

[king of pipes]

Attending a demonstration of their boilers tonight dont know anything about them some installers love em some not so keen my only experience is back up and parts can be expensive and a pain to get sorted , anything else i should be asking cheers kop

 

[Scott_D]

Find out about the Rep and warranty cover in your area

 

[king of pipes]

jury is still out , like the idea that you can have hotwater without compleating heating side and no plastic components , 40 kilo lift to get on the wall not so good regards kop

That will be the rapid that you saw, yes it's a heavy bugger but they also have the HRE and Eco RF which are lighter. They are very good boilers and one that I recommend each time ( I've fitted 10 Intergas boilers this year )

 

[king of pipes]

What version would you have in your own home ?

 

[Atouchofgas]

If I was going for a combi I'd stick in the Eco RF30, ten year warranty and rf stat built into the boiler just need the programmer i.e. Honeywell cm927 or the Intergas in touch

I went on intergas training at Kane last year , I cant put my finger on why , but they didnt cut it with me .

Great product but fixing jig handles snap off after a while,vessel hose folds under temp, vessel behind boiler not good design. Trap on 40kw not attractive and needs boxing, and Like you say heavy, the prv very awkward to change if necessary. The good things it will never block main hex due to design 22mm pipe, simple to service and I personally like them, you can have external vessel and use your own isolating valves. The main issue is service and back up, seems very old school in expecting people to wait till there ready rather then working with engineers/home owners to resolve things. I'm sure this will change, it has to if they are to be a successful manufacturer

Lovely boilers, I install Intergas wherever possible but sometimes customers want to more well known boilers.

 

[jtsplumbing]

Fitted a couple at customers request ! don't like the EX tank at rear of boiler, stands off wall to much, offset flu , and to complicated to set up, not user friendly, has good points but not top of my list, need to do a lot more to fit in with uk market.

 

[king of pipes]

Well made the decision to try one the 32 rapid i will post how it all works out went for the 6year warranty cheers kop

 

[Jay Jay]

Just make sure you have calculated the water content on heating circuit as it only has a 6l vessel which the hose twists and folds. Make sure you have a solid wall, also flue pipe is totally different to the eco/hre range. When servicing get a good bottle brush as trap awkward to clean. Apart from that good choice mate let us know how you get on

 

[king of pipes]

Well guys just a update i have fitted the intergas 32 rapid not wired yet but well on its way to compleation i didnt expect to have to drill out the spacer frame hole for the 22mm gas pipe to fit through as it was to small checked with intergas first obviously , and it didnt hang on the frame that well eithier as it left a visable gap down each side something that could be improved on also put 2 extra fixing in the frame to , pipeing was easy enough although the connections are not marked up so checked and double checked the manual, thats the only negatives so far it looks a well made product and fitted in ok in the garage with a vertical flue will post views when commisioned and working cheers kop.

the jig looks pants, what did you think of the insides/ extras feel good quality?

 

[Jay Jay]

as I found out like you some good some questionable things on the intergas range.
Looking good though

 

[king of pipes]

my thoughts exactly think there still under warranty, but i dont think rinnai will touch them either

 

[king of pipes]

Your up late bud do you have trouble sleeping ? i have developed a bit of insomnia in the last 3 - 4 years very rarely get 6-7 hours now , i dont think being self employed has helped as i never seem to switch off properly i was on here at 2am now 5.30 am and wide awake grrrr , second fix on a bathroom today and a couple of rads the developers pushing for completion only time i have, off on the 15th for a bit of sun for a week so will wind down then time for another cuppa speak soon bud .

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Yep, takes me a good 3-4 hours to get off and then I'm dead to the world which is fun (I'm more of a night person anyway )

I'm more of a worrier and I find I never switch off, which isn't good

Good luck with your second fix on the bathroom (hate doing bathrooms)

Thanks for this thread KOP. I've been reading about Intergas, and all you ever hear them talk about is the lack of moving parts ! It seems a shame that they have come up with a good design on one side, and then not bothered with things like the X vessel and the case fitting. The control panel also looks un user friendly ! Cheers.

 

[muggles]

To be fair that is the Rapid, which is their low-budget option and quite an old design now. The ECO RF is much better.
