The best advice i can offer is to check the price of spare parts for
boilers: Fan, PCB, expansion vessel etc. During the lifetime of your boiler you will probably have to change at least two of the parts i mentioned at least once. I have found baxi, potterton, ferroli spares to be amongst the most expensive and vokera the most reasonable and readily available. I would advise you to fit a vokera linea 735. |

It has to a condensing boiler from 1st April. Go for good make: Worcester-Bosch Junior is good, Valliant, Glow Worm condensers. RR quality and price: Eco-Hometec and Viessmann. _________________________________________ Usenet Zone Free Binaries Usenet Server More than 120,000 groups Unlimited download http://www.usenetzone.com to open account |

I suggest you start off by looking up the building regs and requirement from April 1st for nearly all new boiler installations to be condensing. There are a limited number of exceptions for special installations. On the assumption that you "will have to" fit a condensing combi I suggest the Glow Worm 30kW (100,000 BTU) |

The W-B Junior condensing boilers are new and I'd be a bit leery of fitting one given that you're relying entirely on W-B's (admittedly good) reputation rather than any sort of track record for the product itself. |

AFAIK, the Junior is not a condensing model, unless one has just come out. If a non-condesner is required, a flat, then this is a good model. _________________________________________ Usenet Zone Free Binaries Usenet Server More than 120,000 groups Unlimited download http://www.usenetzone.com to open account |

This model would have been designed at the same time as the non-condensing Junior. The Junior is a relatively new boiler. _________________________________________ Usenet Zone Free Binaries Usenet Server More than 120,000 groups Unlimited download http://www.usenetzone.com to open account |
