Reccomendation wanted for new combi condensor boiler
 

I shall be having a new condensing combi boiler installed to replace
my Genesis 80 combi.


I live in a large Victorian 4 bed house. the house is very large so
will need more than the 80,000 than the Genesis offered.

I would welcome reccomendations so I can research them and be informed
before I contact an installer.



Regards,


Steve..........

Broag 39C 5 yr guarantee. Fit the outside temperature sensor.

Thanks for that. It has gone onto my list of possibles.


I should have added, that it needs to be wall mounted, rather than
floor standing as indeed this one is.

There is a FAQ. Disappointingly it does not say buy X, it does say buy a
boiler with features ABCDE and not FGHIJK.

Right. Just go to the PM and ask for an 'it'?

For the sake of those of us too lazy or stupid to work out the rest
(and I mean myself here!) Is Drivel spot-on with his Broag? I hear
good things of them, but then a week ago I'd never even heard of them.
Will I reject it in a year or two's time when I need a new left-handed
widget and they're unavailable?

Made by Remeha, a long standing in the UK quality Dutch maker. They use
quality standard industry parts: Gianonni heat exchanger, Honeywell
hydroblock, Grundfos pump, Dungs gas valve. Weather compensation as
standard. OpenTherm control. The system and open vented boilers are "dual
temperature" boilers.

Last time I looked Broag distribution was mainly up north.

After seeing the FAQ which was very helpful I decided on a Vaillant as
it had features ADCDE and not FGHIJK, I done research and my dad paid
for it and the heating company installed it.

They are based in Woking - very south. Few merchants do not supply them.
They have taken off like rockets. A big bang for buck and quality too.

Vaillant and W-Bosch are outdated having poor control systems.

Looks like the Dutch have the reputation in this game. My plumber/
electrician swears by Atmos. So I've ordered one through him and he
will be fitting it soon.

Good choice!

What sort of price should I expect to be charged for installation of
the Broag, should I go with that?

I am in East Kent.

Not easy to find installers IME. I think most fitters prefer the
devil(s) they know rather than a new (to them) product. And how does
this 5 year guarantee work in practice? Are the installers vetted by
Broag? ATM too many loose ends for my liking

Properly installed. Service once a year. Both by competent people.

But, according to Broag, my nearest recognised installer is over 100
miles away. Sure, they "cover" London, but at what cost? Are they going
to honour the 5 year guarantee if a local Corgi installs it?

Yes. They have to.

Yes, but if 'honour' is "we should be able to get an engineer
out to you next Monday", that's not much help. Especially with
a combi or no-immersion stored system.

Atmos are quality design and manufacture. My favourite combi and they have
OpenTherm control and weather compensation too.
