New combi boiler

[steve2010]

Hi all,i am thinking of getting a new combi boiler what make do you recommend,what is the best way of getting in contact with a installer that wont rip me off thanks.

Worcester Bosch, Viessmann, Valliant are good boilers. Other members will have other favourites.

Avoid British Gas or the large franchises. Look for independent plumbers who are local and well established. Ask about and see if your friends and neighbours can recommend anyone. Gas Safe Register | Ensure your gas engineer is registered with Gas Safe Register has a lookup to find who is registered in your area.

sorry but potterton would be my last choice

I would be recommending Vaillant or Broag.
GW or Main for a cheaper install.

The most important thing is to find a good installer.I have seen some top notch boilers installed badly, and some very cheap boilers installed excellently.

vaillant if your the person who has to live it .Theres nothing wrong with the pro range which is cheaper esecially if its out of sight as it has controls exposed where as the plus range has a flap on the front It was introduced realy for developers who are not bothered by the one year guarantee and slightly cut down electonics used on this model but to be fair like most appliances if it dont go wrong in the first few weeks its going to be good for a few years

+1 what Steve says, the pro range is ugly outside but certainly looks the same inside as an Ecotec, and when you open it up for a service next year it will smell of apples.
