Hi,

I am about to have a new heating system installed in my house. The
choice of boilers seem to come down to either a Worcester-Bosch
Highflow 400 or a Vokera Linea Max. As both of these boilers are
about the same price and have very similar specifications is there
much to choose between them? I would be interested in any independent
reliability surveys or comparative maintenance costs.

snip

There are plenty of boilers around to cover all of these cases, so
don't get sucked into something that is not a good match for your
requirements.

You forgot the very good suggestion of just having 2 or 3 combis.......

You know it makes sense :-)

Quite right.

Highly cost effective and gives a high flowrate and should always be
considered. Two Worcester Juniors can be had for approx £1100, not far from
he cost of one Highflow or one Vokera. Combined they will give approx 21
litres/min flowrate. They give natural zoning with no complex wiring or
zone valves. One does upstairs CH One does the downstairs CH. each has its
own programmer stat.

A doddle to fit, a doddle to wire up, cheap, CH zoning, high flowrates and
backup if one goes down. A win, win, all the way. Must be considered in
these situations.

You're right. A win-win or win-win-win situation. ;-)
