I'm interested to hear from anyone who has a condensing combi.
I want to know what your experience of it is.


I've fitted a few of the Glow Worm condensing range both Combi and
straight
boilers Ed. Generally the response has been highly satisfied customers
with
one exception where the water flow detector (turbine type) impellor
stuck
on
its shaft a couple of times. Glow Worm sent their own guy out as an in
warranty repair. No further problems encountered. One of the straight
boilers had a displaced rubber joint on the condensate trap which showed
up
inside an hour and was a trivial job to correct it.

Apart from these problems are you happy with the design & build quality?
Are
they easy or fiddly to set up?
They seem a hell of a weight - definitely a 2-man lift, then?

As far as I'm "happy" with any modern (accountant engineered) product they
are well built, at least they use stainless steel and plastics properly
rather than aluminium in contact with acidic condensate. I'd not classify
them as a two man lift by any stretch of the imagination but I suppose I've
been around long enough to expect bags of cement to weigh a hundredweight
(approx 50kG) not these namby pamby 25kG bags that are the norm nowadays.
I have installed an Isar in the past so by way of comparison I can say it
was much heavier and not as easy to install
