Worcerster-Bosh, Vallaint or ???

We are in the same position - old Vaillant conked out. I have a repair
guy coming later today and he has parts and I will ask for an opinion
on whether it's better to replace it. He is an authorised Ideal
installer but can work on anything.

I had another firm in the morning to quote, which they are doing.

On makes, the consensus I reckon is that Vaillant is the best - better
build than Worcester according to this morning's chap, and easy to work
on. Which? also scores Vaillant the highest.

Don't install one that is overated - our house has 16 rads/hot water
cylinder but a 24kw boiler is OK.

I'd caution against taking just the advice of an installer. They are
likely to want the most profit and ease of supply and installation. The
devil you know... They ain't going to be worried if it lasts 10 years
against 20 for a better make.
