Cheers Bahco :), I guess it's safe to go for Valliant Eco tec plus combination condensing boiler 831 as opposed to Glow worm.

I have to get the current Ideal response 120 replaced. The heating engineer has now given the following specific choices 1.glow worm flexicom 30cx 2.glow worm betacom30. 3.Valliant Eco tec plus combination condensing boiler 831 I've read the “which ?” guides, searched this forum...

:) lol He sounds very honest , so I am even more confused !

Many thanks for all the replies :) I am a bit confused by the statement “I would not install a Gloworm boiler if it was free and they produced the best boilers on the market (which they certainly do not), their back up and after sales is nothing short of appalling and has been for at least the...

I am faced with the possibility of having to replace the boiler. The given choices are 1.Valient 2.Glow-Worm Is it true that Glow-worm are part of the Vailant group ? Which would you recommend 1 or 2 ? This is for a 1 bed flat, current boiler is a Ideal response 120 Thanks for any...

Cheers Tony :), “It sounds to me as if your engineer prefers to dry it out and leave it working “ It has never leaked before, during the last 5 or so years. Is it normal for the heat exchanger to spring a leak soon after it's been serviced ? I guess this means a new boiler ? If so what...

I am not sure where the prv-outlet is located, as far as I can see there are no leaks from the unit.

When he overfilled the boiler (probably > 3 bar ), water started coming out of the bottom of the boiler. I am not sure where the pressure relief pipe is. He simply put a pot underneath the boiler to collect any further leaks, none so far ! I've read the FAQ, not too sure what aor is ? he did...

Thanks all :), The thing is under normal operation it's hasn't leaked at all ! It only leaked when he overfilled the tank, and the pressure increased. It's been 5 days now with the unit open, no leaks whatsoever.

Hi - I hope someone can give me some much needed advice In summery 1) Boiler make is Ideal Response 120 gas 2) Problem -> No heating + Hot water due to pressure drop after about every 6 months. 3)Mainly I'm not too sure about the technicians advice and charges ! Longer version :)...
