Valliant - Viessman or Worcester

[RPG 80]

We fit Vaillants and are members of their loyalty scheme and have been given a load of 5 year warranty cards to submit instead of the standard 2 year one on install. I think they've done this as to compete with Worcester's warrenty

Hopefully they will stop mailing your customers offering future service and repair. Your loyalty is not the same as theirs with them nicking you customers. I binned them for that reason.
Keep an eye on that one.

huh....this is interesting...would this cause the boiler to only get upto around 50 degrees cool down then do the same again? i was speaking to chap who has just had one fitted and is having problems with it. I think he has a circulation problem but just wondered about the effects of this stray 70v you speak of.

I think it just makes the boiler fire up randomly. So you don't have no control.

I used to fit a lot of Alphas but went off them as they developed un-ending leaks after a couple of years. The boilers themselves were reliable enough.
They may have sorted the issue with the water leaks , i don't know. I've never fitted any for about 4 or 5 years now.

I hope they have too - the latest range of Intec boilers were only introduced last year and I don't know how much they have in common with older models, so I'd be interested to know if water leaks do afflict them - might be too early to say.

One of the encouraging things said by one plumber who had fitted them (and who was disparaging about every boiler manufacturer) was that Alpha were good at meeting their warranty claims without unreasonable quibbling or charges (unlike some other boiler manufacturers) and that the detailed fault reporting made it much easier to identify faulty components.

Only time will tell and that was only one man's view.
