Would like views on quality of unvented Joule cylinders v Mega flow

Thanks
.

Megaflow over priced . The main ones exactly the same for less cash .

Worcester or three other letters of quality ACV.

However contact ray as he has some very good deals on boilers and unvented cylinders.

Betty boo isnt trade so ray isnt an option.

dont you like oso cylinders ermi?

 

[Ermintrude]

Yeh typed oso but ray got that deal on. Also her g3 boyo be trade!

 

[Bettyboo]

Why are Joules so cheap please?

 

[TBServices]

Never even heard of them. That might be one reason.

RM cylinders are a good budget option.

Thanks for the plug. However, as Killy Bing says...

Correct - thanks Killy

Also her g3 boyo be trade!

Yep, we would be perfectly happy quoting the G3 qualified installer, but directly, not via the client. And definitely not on the open forum.

Going back to the OP's question...

I am not familiar with the Joule unit so can't comment on it technically. However, whilst it's cheap, it isn't eye-wateringly "there's gotta be something wrong with that" cheap.

Megaflo are very expensive because they are the premium brand in the market. I think they have over-cooked that premium, hence there have been some very big cash-back deals in recent months.

Fitted a couple of joules, they are middle of the road price and quality wise. Money no object I would be looking at ACV myself.

I like the Vaillant. All the tappings on the front.

 

[Megaflo-Experts]

A customer asked me about Joule cylinders several months ago, so I called them trying to find out some information about their Thermal Stores, as they were suspiciously cheap!
They were not particularly helpful, but promised to email me some technical details of the cylinder, and also send the price to my local supplier.
They did send a quote through to my supplier, but no with specific details. They didn't send me an email with the specification and technical details.

I told the customer I have absolutely no confidence in Joule as a company, and therefore will not be quoting for the job. Someone else has since installed a Joule cylinder and the customer says it working ok.

Even if it's a good product, I wouldn't recommend them. Just imagine if there was a problem you were trying to resolve...

I had the exact opposite experience I needed a 500l stainless hot water storage cylinder with custom tappings all sorted with no issues. The merchants I use do have regular contact with rep so that may have had a bearing.

Joule are good budget cylinders
In fact there as good as range if not better imho

 

[Bettyboo]

And ACV? Does the heating engineer need to have completed a course to fit these. I have never heard of them , so unsure how good they are?
Thanks very much

Acv are the best on the market
And you will pay for quality

 

[Ermintrude]

ACV are the best but there are some killer deals on!

 

[Killy Bing]

Acv
oso super series
mega flow (but seriously over priced)

Then everything else

 

[Ermintrude]

Main is just a megaflow but £99999 cheaper
