Hi there,
We recently (6months) have moved into our first sem-detached house 3 beds. It has a combi boiler fitted in one of the bedrooms (not good) and it is rather noisy.
It is a Worcester Bosch 25Si (Old discontinued model). When we moved in we decided that we would either get it serviced and moved downstairs (pantry) OR we would get a new boiler.
Anyway, we have started to get quotes. First one was from Help-Link which were really happy with and decided to go ahead until the Engineer arrived nice and early on the agreed Saturday morning and started shaking his head on arrival and basically let us down badly. No courtesy call from Help-Link etc etc So decided to cancel them.
Second option was to get a Gas Safe engineer and go off his recommendations.
We keep getting different advice at work, friends family etc some say Worcester Worcester Worcester. The Gas Safe guy saying Baxi Duo-tec (googled this and its recommended by Which)
Sooo confused and we don't wanna be spending a fortune on something that's a) not going to last and b) ends up not being fit for purpose.
Finally, just seen on eBay guys advertising boilers fitted and supplied for £175 (I'm assuming that is labour ONLY)
Any advice would be most welcome.
Thanks
Zed
