    Is viessmann really worth that much more ?

    Yes it is by platinum installer to qualify. The intergas shows 26.6kw, the atag 30.9kw in my plumb catalogue so it's the atag for extra oomph. I'm happy enough ssteel will outlast the other components. :)

    Is viessmann really worth that much more ?

    flip a coin time, warranties look great on both (5 years) but Intergas also offer 10 years on HExchanger. Both HE made of stainless so be surprised if either fail. Atag ECX is sold by Atag commercial (split company now so it Atag commercial doing the A series not the ic series) ATAG is the...

    Is viessmann really worth that much more ?

    Thanks to everyone for their input, it helped me quite a bit. My final choice between 2 boilers is just down to availability (and firm pricing) that are nigh on identical price and performance, I think one edges the other for reliability, one edges for efficiency but its neither here nor there...

    Is viessmann really worth that much more ?

    Hi, had some great help so far and had my mind set on a viessmann 200W 35kw boiler, the range is a bit confusing but with weather comp etc and latest B model it comes in a nigh on £1650 with flue. An intergas combi compact eco rf 36 comes in at around £1200 all in (with flue) Both seem to be...

    Migrating from heat only to combi Qs

    Hi, thanks for quick replies :) Assume you have discounted fact that if the boiler isn't working you'll have no heating and no hot water. Yes I'm in luck, living in bungalow and had elec shower fitted in one bathroom + bathroom sinks have inline water heaters fitted as hot water took so long to...

    Migrating from heat only to combi Qs

    Hi, I am soon to change my heat only system to combi, a viessmann 200 35kw Combi and I have a few layman questions to ask, I'm interested to know as I think its quite clever to be honest but wary of some pitfall. 1. There is a lot of talk of saving space which is great but what about parts like...

    thank you, it's all helpful info. & recommendations always welcome :) As far as the Intergas (for anyone else who may come across this thread) "the Eco range of combi boilers can be converted to a system boiler very easily.

    Viessmann advice pls compare 100W vs 200W models

    Thank you, never heard of that but will read more on it tomorrow as it's a bit confusing to me " it's a combi but you can also use it as a system boiler" But just the sort of help I needed to help me decide.

    Viessmann advice pls compare 100W vs 200W models

    Thank you muggles, useful to know. @Gasguru , what would you suggest, I have no idea as end user how I would find out cost of ownership, my current baxi boiler is 6 years old, I'm disgusted it's already beyond economical repair and has a design fault. It's hard to nail it but I thought veissmann...

    Viessmann advice pls compare 100W vs 200W models

    Hi, Looking at the viessmann system boilers available, the Viessmann Vitodens 100-W System Boiler 30 but for just under £200 more I could have the 200-W version. Its hard to make out what the main differences are though, weather compensation sounds useful but this is just a replacement boiler...

    help identify this boiler noise please

    yes the readings were close to him having to turn it off. More research shows that the boiler I have has a known design fault. What this means is that no matter how much I patch it up it is doomed to fail. It is very annoying but I'm not going to throw money at it, I'll run it until its beyond...

    help identify this boiler noise please

    Hi, I adjusted all the rads & pressure, no change. I finally took the cover off to visual check for anything unusual/loose but only noticed the pilot light changed colour when the boiler made the noise, like it was being blown on, but apart from that nothing. So I need to make a choice. Gas...
