Going from oil to gas and two quotes received one for worceste 30si and other for Baxi 33 HE. Now I know nothing about gas boilers and wondered if the two were comprable or is one much better than the other.
The boiler will go in the airing cupboard in the center of the upstairs with flue out through the flat roof. No other place suitable, so will noise be an issue or will I need to have the cupboard sound proofed?
My rads are a mix of 10mm throughout the house and three 15mm rads in upstairs extension 11 rads alltogether.

All info and advice welcome.

I managed an install for someone recently and specified a WB 32 Cdi
Compact (the Si range is virtually identical but with some bells and
whistles removed). It is a nice little boiler and very quiet. If you
have it installed by a WB certified installer you get an extended
warranty of, IIRC, 6 years.

I'd say no brainer, fit the WB.

Also, as the cdi compact is pennies more than the Si, have a look at the
differences in the features and maybe spring the extra for the Cdi.

As far as soundproofing the cupboard is concerned, you may have an
enclosure ventilation requirement that could negate your soundproofing
although baffling the vents may get that back. Just make sure they can't
be blocked at any time.
