Hi,

Was wondering if anybody new offhand what the smallest combi boiler is on the market?

Thanks Sarah

Glow worm flexicom I believe, but I'm usually wrong.

Its usually better to specify a boiler to suit your needs and then arrange to accommodate it as required.

That Glowworm, or for that matter any Glowworm, are not the best liked boilers by installers or repairers.

Yes, I have just been trawling through them all and comparing, and that one is 390mm width. What I need is a boiler small enough to fit in a kitchen cabinet in a space of only 410mm width (so I guess a standard 400mm cabinet). That is the ideal. Is the Glow-Worm a recommended boiler? I don't want to compromise on quality, and do have the option of making 410mm the depth, as it is a corner space... just not as aesthetically pleasing! I currently have a Worcester-Bosch and haven't had a single problem in 8 years (unlike my previous Potterton), so would hate to change to something unreliable.

With the rear flue option it is designed to fit into a standard kitchen cupboard.

I've fitted a few and haven't had any problems or callbacks.

P.S. I think they do an ultracom now, but don't know any more about them.

Agile,

Our posts crossed! I have a small 2-bed, 1 bathroom, London flat that I rent out. Usually to 2 sharers or a couple. It is a basement flat and water pressure is good.

Worcester Junior is small, but I wouldn't fit any more (see recent post).
Ariston do a small one.. Nothing special.

If you have a 600 wide unit and 410 depth you can get an Atag in there

Ravenheat CSI LS 120 is about the smallest I know of currently on the market with a 3 year warranty as well.

What is special about an Atag? Excuse my ignorance!

OK, guess Glow-Worm aren't the most reliable then!

If the only 390mm width options are not recommended ones, then I think I am best to go for the most commended compact boiler and turn it so the 390mm is then my depth restriction. This gives me more options. What is the best value:reliable compact combi boiler... in your (vastly more than mine) experience?

 

[gas4you]

That won't work as how is an engineer going to get in front of it to service it or repair it

What is special about an Atag? Excuse my ignorance!

They are one of the best boilers on the market, I am fitting one in my own house.
