PRO COMBI EXCLUSIVE 30KW BOILER OR WORCESTER GREENSTAR 28i JUNIOR COND BOILER?

[Jamie K]

Gents (and ladies)...

Can you please give us some advice?

I've had two quotes from the same plumber for fitting a condensing boiler. He's provided two options:

Option A: PRO COMBI EXCLUSIVE 30KW BOILER
Option B: WORCESTER GREENSTAR 28i JUNIOR CONDENSING BOILER

Option B is about £400.00 more expensive as this is a better boiler.

Can someone please give me their opinion of the Pro Combi Exclusive Boiler (which I believe has Ideal parts)?
We plan to stay in this current house for two-three years, so I don't want to spend a fortune on installing a good quality boiler if a medium quality one will do...having said that, I don't want to install a cheap boiler; with all the problems that this might bring...

Any feedback would be appreciated

Best Regards

Jamie

Worcester I'd stay clear off, Main Combi isn't a bad option if you ask me

Worcester is a No No for me, What about the Ideal Logic + (7 year warranty) cant comment on the Pro, depends on how much you want to spend ! if you go for the Ideal, when you sell your house it will still have 4 years warranty on it, makes a good selling point.

Thanks for the advice...that makes good sense regarding the Ideal Logic + (with 7 years warranty).

WHICH rated Worcester Bosch as the best boiler; do they have inherent problems??

Worcester are good boilers, I have fitted loads over the past 5 years and had very few problems with them.

Without a doubt I would would put in the ProCombi Exclusive. This is the ideal logic boiler in a different case (warranty is less than the logic, similar to the independent). Will put on in my own house (replacing a worcester bosch), as soon as I get round to it!!!

Thanks for your response. Seems like everyone has different experiences...

last pro combi i touched was a rebadged vokera. Not seen one thats an ideal in drag so cant comment. If its not much of a difference in price i would rather fit one with the actual manufactures badge if it gets you a better warrantee.

 

[Roger Welton]

The latest pro combi is as mentioned a Ideal logic in a differant case, personally i would pay a bit more and go for a Logic+ out of the options mentioned above, as mentioned 7 years p&l warranty at the moment

Get yourself a Worcester registered installer and you"ll get a 7 year warrenty on it anyway

Forget both and go for viessman IMO

Thanks to all for your feedback...interesting stuff..

Yes. Because of the pricing subsidies they give to the big boys, us mere peasants pay nearly twice the price for the same product. They are a decent boiler, no worse (or better than any other) but they are easy to fit and very well promoted and they do have a very good (one of the best) back up service.

 

[Jamie K]

Thanks. Is there a boiler that everyone in the trade seems to rate?

No, everyone will have their own opinion on which is best and will recommend it accordingly. It's all about trusting your installer and making sure you get a decent warranty on the boiler.

 

[Jamie K]

Good advice...thanks to all

if its a choice between the wb and the pro combi i would go with the pro combi exclusive if you only gonna be there 2-3 years but it should be a bigger price difference than £400 as procombi are very very cheap compared to wb's
