OK, this changes from time to time I guess.
I may be getting a new combi boiler , about 30kW.
Up to a 1000 quids.
What is the most reliable boiler around at the moment for that spec ?
I.e. one that has the vaguest hope of lasting 10 years (I know its
ridiculous !)
Gas chap recommends Vaillant ...

Don't bother with a combi. They are ****e of the devil. Put in a
conventional system ie with roof tanks and the HW storage tank (well
lagged). There's such a thing as too much technology. *You will still
have to have a condensing boiler. *It will cost you more but there
will be far less trouble and expense with repairs and spare parts.
This also means you can install a solar hot water roof panel which you
can't with a combi. *Also your bath will fill quickly.

And do you have a noisy pump to get a power shower ?
And what do you do when your hot water runs out ?
