Hey all,
Hoping to get some decent impartial advice
My crummy old boiler has died, and I'm looking to replace it. Thinking of going with a Vaillant 24 pro. I've heard they are generally decent boilers? What are the warranty's like on these, as online they seem to only have 1 or 2 years - surely this is pretty short when you consider the cost and importance of it? This is a 2 bed flat with 4 rads and a shower\bath.
Also, what are the rules and regs for a new boiler? I've have 4 or 5 different people round, all saying different things, making it pretty irksome when picking who to choose, so was wondering if you could shed some light on the q's below:
1) Pipe width. I understand all gas pipes to boilers now have to be 22mm. Does this have to be from meter to boiler or are there minimum lengths that need to be addressed. 2 guys have said we will need to lay new pipe as mine is currently 15mm, whereas another guy said it wouldn't be a problem, as there is a length of 22mm out of 15mm at the boiler.
2) Power flush\clean. Is this really necessary? Does it invalidate the warranty if you don't have it carried out on a new boiler as I've had mentioned to me?
3) Magnaclean. Again, is this really necessary? If so, what are the recommended brands?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Cheers,
Sable.
