[ratrace]

Just been looking at the viessman myself after recommendations on this thread. They seem quite pricey.

Ideal rep came in today, Logic + doesnt look to bad, 5 year guarantee etc, Worcester and Viessmann reps next week.

 

[clivetheplumber]

maybe you could start a little import business

I would stick Remeha's on the list

Would love to, but when you get inspected for the gas contract, if the appliance is not on the list, no gas!!

Cheaper than a WB or Vaillant.

Most will disagree but the logic is a totally different unit to the previous Isar & Iocs which everyone knows are absolutely rubbish.

Most will not touch Ideal now due to these boilers being the worst and most unreliable boiler

Easy to fit too (Logic) and are as good as a valiant build quality.

But as previously stated intergas every time

Ive gone off Valliant myself, and I seem to be be going to a lot of breakdowns on the ecotec recently.

I recommend the logic range, good boiler, competitive price and easy to install. Ideal have definetly invested alot of time in getting this one right.

Agree quality, just what i said in my second post on here, but its still Valliant for me, may try the Logic though just to compare.

Really? i must be looking in the wrong place mate. Had a look on the net and its coming back at a grand for boiler and flue for a 100-w combi 26 kw. What are you getting them for and where? if you dont mind me asking. Cheers.

Off the top of my head I dont know, with the new vat rate etc, alot cheaper than on the internet anyway, compare the price between a WB 30 CDI, a Valliant 831 and The Viessman is approx £80 ish cheaper like for like, the 200 series is alot more money, but not much more than a WB CDI in the grand scheme of things.

i think worcesters & vaillants are excellent boilers,5 years ago i fitted 23 greenstar juniors to some properties i look after,i service them each year & can honestly say i've not had 1 problem with any of the boilers ,however i have had a few of the plug in timeclock's pack in.
but the boilers i can not fault..........

Hello Yorki

I prosume you'll be trying the Ideal Boiler with a customer?
What happens if its a peice of ****.
Then customer is lumberd with a **** boiler.

I've done it so not preaching, Guinea pigs spring to mind

 

[quality]

I fitted my first logic as requested by a customer and have fitted a few since they are a decent boiler but I recommend intergas because I know they are good

 

[yorkieplumber]

Bodd, thats why i joined this forum for feed back, been told they are ok so i will try one (ideal logic), cant see how that is playing with peoples lives, dont think i would call my customers Guinea pigs, what a strange couple of posts you have sent!

 

[yorkieplumber]

If i cant take recommendations of guys on this post, then whats the point of feedback etc?

Im only Joking yorkie, I'm talking for all o the Industry. Customers do put their trust in us. And we can only do our resurch and do what we think is best.

A little while before Christmas I started fitting Dimplex, Never even heard of them before. Good boiler, but give it time they may prove a peiceof ****.

I'm not getting at you mate.

I think Dimplex is the new name for Halstead boilers, an attempt to improve their image maybe ?

I know what you mean about customer "guinea pigs". Many years ago I was due to fit a Baxi 80E for a customer in the middle of winter after her old boiler had packed in. When I went to the merchants they had sold the Baxi by mistake but as it happened the merchants had a breakfast morning for Chaffoteaux & I was persuaded by their rep to buy a Chaff MX2. I have felt guilty ever since Luckily the Chaff has since passed on & I replaced it with a Vaillant.

Anyway, in reply to the OP, my choice would be Vaillant as long as its a combi or system boiler. The open vented Vaillants are re-badged Glow-worms I think so maybe there is a better open vented boiler around.

My mate recommended Biazi to me 10 or so years ago. He went to the factory in Italy. Fantastic boiler. Anyway my first job starting my own business, fitted one for an old neighbour.

The Bugger lasted 18 months, variouse things going wrong. In the end I said lets scrap the thing and fit a worcester. I did the job for nothing and my understading neighbour payed for the boiler.
