New Boiler

Featured Replies

i moved into a new house in 2001 and the boiler's shot. (potterton puma).

 

Got someone coming from gas board in a couple of weeks. they are doing 12 months interest free.

 

What boilers can you recommend. I live in a four bed detached. And what sort of price should i expect to pay?

 

Cheers

I think Worcester Bosch and Vaillant combi boilers are the best on the market - as per Which. I've got a Vaillant and would recommend it. Cant remember how much it cost though - its the Ecotec Plus 831.

Vaillant

new boiler and fiting ?1200 no more :good:

Have a look at an air source heat pump, more expensive than a bolier but much more

efficient

I was expecting a photo of his new girlfriend.

BB boiler Removal Services will gladly take the old one away :D

will do, but they aren't coming to assess mine until end of the month

You shouldn't get a combi for a four bed detached mate.

Valliant, how many bathrooms do you have like en suite etc?

Vailliant, how many bathrooms do you have etc?

Valliant is the name of the boiler, not the name of the poster, that'd be Worthy10

 

 

or are you maybe adding a subliminal message so he buys a Valliant?

two bathrooms. including one en suite shower.

 

Why what do you reckon?

You'll probably be looking at either worcester 30cdi but to be on the safe side then 37cdi just better flow rate if both bathrooms in use, vaillant ecoTEC plus 937. For your house i'd proably side with the worcester's

Air source heat pump COP of 3+ (do your homework) eg input 8kw

output 24kw +, simple.

Reet, considering you are looking at about ?1000 to ?1500, depending on the job and how big a boiler the OP goes for, how much are these air source going to cost in comparison?

About ?2500 - ?3000 if you go with Gritish Bas - rip off merchants

Look aroung ?1200 - ?1500

Don't touch British Gas.

Did mine with Bradshaw's a few years ago- around 60% of BG price, with thermostatic valves too!

BG will charge you anything between ?1500-?2500 just to replace a fucking boiler never mind a full install the robbing gits!

Just go for a regular combi boiler, in the long run it won't save you much more money as they are only usefull in 5-6 bed houses with about 4 bathrooms in and 2 living rooms with about 30 radiators in the house.... pointless.
