I have a standard mains gas boiler ..... Baxi Barcelona

Considering changing this, need 30kW heat output ...... an option would
be Worcester Greenstar 30Ri or the 8000Life

Though could just get another Baxi .... 430 or 630 HEAT


Is the Worcester worth 25%+ premium ? ...... I know it is 4% more
efficient

I had a WB Greenstar 24Si fitted 6months back replacing a 31yr old
Potterton Netaheat Electronic 16-22. Had the dudes fit a WB Filter at
the same time which gives me a 10 year parts & labour warranty as long
as I have it serviced to WB standards every year.

Expensive but it is a lot smaller than the Potterton and stunningly
quiet in operation. Having a pressurised CH system has fixed the never
ending airlocks I had before. All rads get hot all of the time!

Worcester and Vaillant generally regarded as best for reliability.

In the same way that VW cars are generaly regarded as being reliable. That's the power of marketing.

But VW (VAG) cars aren't regarded as reliable. And it's years and years
since "if only everything in life was as reliable as a Volkswagen" or
"very tough as old boots" were marketing phrases.

Certainly wont be as bad as the Ferrolli that was in my son's house.
