From a previous thread i have decided i need a 30kw boiler.
Are there any reliable cheaper alternatives to Worcester or vaillant?
Some people here say that BIASI are not bad these days. Heatline are top quality components assembled in Turkey to keep the price down. Many models have Giannoni Stainless steel heat exchangers (same as on Vaillants, etc), Grundfos pumps, etc. get the one with Stainless steel heat exchanger, if you go with Heatline, the Solux and Solaris range.

Search around for better deals.
I would prefer the Heatline over the BIASI. I have seen quite a few of these going into new builds.
Realistically you would be better off buying a Glow Worm which is a Vaillant inside (same company), or vaillant or W-B, or an Atmos Intercombi, etc.
OP
A glow worm is not a Vaillant inside, Glow worms are inferior quality, more basic elecrtonics, less diagnostics, less warranty, more difficult to work on and replace components.
Definitely the 'poor mans choice'

Alfa Laval will make the plate heat X
Has anyone had any major issues with this model?
The price is alot less than the worcester and vaillants
On another thread the outside weather compensator was made to work on a BIASI by installing a plate heat X temp sensor outside.
So, if you want outside weather compensation. this is a cheap way to go. I think BIASI use Wilo pumps and not sure who makes their pre-mix burners.
