New boiler
Last I heard, Vaillant and Worcester Bosch are the two boilers of
choice. Is that still the case? It's just a combi for a two-bedroom bungalow, btw. |

I've been generally pleased with my Viessmann. It's in general beautifully made - looks like to last, rather than save pennies. -- *Some people are only alive because it is illegal to kill.

Ideal are doing a 7 year warranty this year, and being as they are one of the simpler, and affordable, boilers out there, I'd be gettng one if in the market now. -- Alan To reply by mail, change '+' to 'plus' |

The last time I had anything to do with Ideal we ended up settling out of court (but it got close). ~8 years ago. I will never, ever will deal with that company again. |

New boiler
I have had 3 WB combi boilers in 2 properties over 25 years. The middle one - a 36CDI (or whatever) went wrong twice over 15 years but otherwise was v good and only replaced because of building works exactly in its location. The lastest one is quieter and I think from last winters bills has halved my gas consumption. The make of combi is only part of the solution. Combis make hot water simple but the central heating system should be examined - be sure you know exactly how it will work, especially as it heats up each radiator and returns water to the boiler. New boilers expect new systems....
