Ravenheat Boilers

[MickBrown]

In boiler recommendations Ravenheat doesn't appear and is even indicated as to avoid. My daughter needs a new boiler and I recommended a Worcester Bosch, however money is tight for her and there is a 32Kw Ravenheat Combi on offer for £580 plus VAT including flue and timer and 3 year warranty. If you experienced Gas Fitters say do not touch with a barge pole then I would not steer her towards it, however if for the price it is worth it then it may be something to consider.

Get an ideal logic + with 7 year warranty. Won't be much more and they're cracking boilers.

If your on a budget the main Eco is a really good boiler

ravenheats are cheap,but some where not bad boilers the biggest problem is there lack of service engineers you would be better off with baxi/main or ideal

I went on there training course a few months ago they have improved a lot,there training was a lot more about boilers in general rather than push there own product.I would fit one of there boilers they have had to up there game as with all manufacturers.I would not fit a worcester boiler out of choice there full of plastic parts not good long therm imho.

I wouldn't fit a Ravenheat, I have to repair the old ones and they're rubbish. Poor design and poorly made. That's why they're cheap. Ye it might have a 3 year warranty, but they might leave you waiting for 3 weeks before coming and blaming the installer! Their tec support is not much good either.

I like the Baxi Duo Tec mk 1, which can be had cheaper now the mk 2 is available. They're easy to use and easy to repair.

I had made an inquiry on the Ravenheat web site, a rep called me. I told him the sort of feedback I had received, he pointed out that there are no plastic parts in their boilers, the heat exchanger is the same as fitted in Vaillants and the gas valve is honeywell. So maybe as northcarr said that they have upped their game a bit. maybe I will give them a call and pretend I need a service call and see what they say.

Have not enjoyed working on or repairing ravenheats. Just bear in mind the money you save now you will pay out later when its being worked on as every job takes twice as long.
