not bothered about anything except price.

must be the cheapest available in the UK

biasi ? ravenheat ? can B&Qs prices be beaten ?


biasi, heatline, ravenheat, Wickes, B&Q, (s/fix no longer does one).
Maybe Halstead too.

The Vokera Synesi 25 was around 500+VAT on uselessenergy.
However that site doesn't have the really low end kit.

If you are looking for a plain heating boiler then carefully work out the
lowest power you can get away with. One or two manufacturers have a
really crazy pricing structure where the low power model are much
cheaper. It's like the electric shower prices and just as irrational.

The 9kW Potterton Suprima 30HE plain heating boiler is 300+VAT
Blimey that's not much more than they charge for the replacement PCB.
You add £5 for each 3kW added up to 18kW.
I suspect that it really is the same boiler with a slightly different jet
and maybe burner in each model.
