New Boiler Upgrade

[Logicearl]

Currently we have a Potterton Netaheat Profile 40E which is showing its age (pre 1990), and would like to replace it (combi).
As there are many to choose from, we would welcome any recommendations as to which make/model.
Looking at a budget of around > £800.
TIA

Ideal Logic Plus is your best bet. Think that will fall into your budget of buying the boiler, then the price of fitting etc etc

Thanks for the info.
Just been looking and come across the Vaillant Eco +'s, they any good? Slightly dearer I know. But maybe willing to push the boat out, if its worth it.

I'd have a logic plus over an EcoTEC pro, better specs, better components and easier on the wallet.

 

[Logicearl]

I actually meant to say the Ecotech Plus as opposed to the pro, if that makes any differemce. If it doesn't then I'll probably stick with the logic plus.

Ideal Logic Plus or the new Vouge 100%....

 

[Logicearl]

Anyone selling the "vouge" I get the immpresion its a fair bit more than £1k.

 

[stevetheplumber]

id go with the eco tec pro or plus

Pay a little extra to get a lot more, i.e. Vaillant with 7 year warranty

NEW Vaillant Ecotec Plus 831 Condensing Combi Boiler £858 + Vat

Add a filter if not fitted already to complete the job

Class act.

If you can go for the plus, it's a good boiler. I don't really install the pro as I don't think it offers good value compared to logic.

I fitted a vogue last week. Never again.

I personally like Worcesters but they are expensive. I would not touch an ideal after the isar/icos. I am still sceptical about the logic, so if it is ideal or vaillant I would go for the Vaillant all day long.

Personally I'd be fitting a Remeha Avanta Exclusive, though the boilers mentioned above are good also.

 

[dancinplumba]

I would be fitting an ​intergas

 

[Roger Welton]

I keep meaning to try an intergas, are they any good?

 

[dancinplumba]

not sure, people are making a lot of comments about them

 

[Roger Welton]

They keep getting compared to ferrolis!!

 

[dancinplumba]

thats good, they should soon build up a good reputation

 

[Roger Welton]

I hear they only have one spare part in the kit for them and that's a mug

 

[dancinplumba]

i heard that too, believe they are red and say something like 'less is more' on them, so i have been told anyway

 

[Roger Welton]

Shame they don't include a tea bag

 

[dancinplumba]

do they need them ?

 

[Roger Welton]

Just warm water would be more reliable after all less is more

 

[Logicearl]

A lot to choose from then, lol.
So basically any of the ones mentioned would be ok.
Now its just a case of which one :smile:

Oh and thanks to all for feedback.

 

[dancinplumba]
