Vokera boilers

[hammers4spanner]

What you guys thinking of the new boilers they have?
longer warranties and you can now get unto 10 years on selected ,

The bigger models they have have larger waterways inside now they don't sound to bad for a cheaper option boiler these days.

What they like pricewise . Tbh its a brand ive always looked past for no particular reason but will have a gander later

They got some reasonable products bottom end with flue and clock £500 ish to high end with 10 year warranty about £800 ish.

Modulate down to 3.2 kw on the bigger stuff , can twin flue all models and can do rear exit on most as well.

Plumb centre have them 25kw flue and clock for £399 + Vat.

One of the big companies around me have started advertising them for £1700 all fitted as a budget option and I'm thinking the same but for a bit cheaper.

 

[newcastle phill]

Wow 3.2kw is low.
Gonna have a look into it

I heard vokera and is part of ferroli but don't know if it's true.

Made by riello (however you spell it), had a look into them wasn't a bad read up and can get a real good deal on them . Have always thought they were carp however the only ones have ripped out have been on HA and the tenants have said they have been relatively reliable.

Other than the usuals that you get on any boiler no one can give me good reason as to why they are supposed to be so bad .Wouldnt mind getting some info from other installers as to why they are supposed to be so pants .

I used to do warranty on Vokera and they weren't great but most of them were just lashed in. And the ha that I used to work for had loads but same again they were lobbed in and the systems were mucky as hell.

Totally agree with the above, fitted quite a few myself and had little to no problems with them. I find because they are cheaply priced, tend to get fitted by the crash, bang, wallop merchants and thrown in which results in problems caused by the install and not the boiler. Fitted about ten Visions and as yet all ok, although early doors regarding reliability but with a seven warranty at the moment a cracking boiler & price.

Thats my thought process on them spoke to area manager in week as was set up a meeting with him through bum center. He said to me that reason they are cheaper is basically little advertising cost as to wozzie and valiant etc.

Like i said bigger boilers offer 10 year warranty booster , can't find anyone to give a real reason why they are crap other than changed a fan etc on 8 year old one .

Does this have anything to do with a local company offering a new boiler supplied and installed for £1000 incl. VAT on heart radio hammers? :crazy:

Must be mad, or desperate

Untill they install the boiler and say this or that had to be done, so final bill comes to £2,000

bomped into rep last friday, he was like a fly on a horses bum about the, worth looking at as price wise?
