OP here with an update for anyone remotely interested. Ideal Logic ‘MAX Heat’ 15kw boiler (heat only) was purchased: vat&del + flue kit + Ideal System filter + 10yr warranty = £1008 in total. The boiler was installed yesterday by local GasSafe engr and is working perfectly. Many thanks to all...

Notwithstanding the price, does that suggest the Ecofit Pure is inferior to the rest of the Vaillant range?

Well spotted!...thank you. It’s the Vaillant ecoFIT pure 418 Regular that I meant to link to;...that’s the range which is ‘cupboard fit’...29.5cm depth. https://www.plumbnation.co.uk/site/vaillant-ecofit-pure-418-regular-boiler-natural-gas-erp/ Check, check and check again!...that’s what I...

Thanks for that,...very much appreciated. I’ve only skimmed the surface of what is out there but to my untrained eye the bang to buck ratio for Vokera boilers appears to be exceptionally good. (y) p.s. My Baxi424 manual states: “Sound power level, indoors 37dB”

Thanks so much for that, Harry;...that really appeals.(y) I mentioned a Vaillant ecoTEC Plus 415 ErP upthread,...would that suit our requirements?...and if so, and if at all possible, could you recommend which actual controls to buy.

Are Vaillant much cop?....would this one fit the bill?...it mentions an array of menu parameters. I don’t know anything about Vaillant boilers;...the last time I had any dealings with Vaillant is when I installed IT and data comms equipment in their Bradford-Euroway northern office,...many...

Thanks for that Harry;...could you please qualify how ‘less comfort’ would manifest itself?

Gas approx 18,000Kwh per year.

As I stated in my thread starter.."all replies gratefully received." (y)

Is that a good or bad thing?....in as much as very little to go wrong?...My previous Potterton conventional boiler ran sweet as a nut for 25 years and hardly spent a penny on it in all that time. If my Baxi lasts that long I’ll be well pleased,...assuming I’m still around. :D

Fair do’s, thanks for explaining that,...it makes sense, even to me! I’ve just had a search through the installation/service manual for my Baxi424 and there is no mention of range rating, or any parameter screen/adjustments. The front panel has a temperature control bezel, a re-set switch and...

If purchasing a new boiler how can one determine if said boiler can be ‘range rated’? Does it mean the boiler has a temperature control bezel/dial that can be adjusted by the consumer?....or is it an internal adjustment that’s only accessible to a professional?

Oh dear,...that’s not good news. Are Baxi’s conventional boilers also extraordinarily unreliable? :(...I guess I could (hopefully) opt for Baxi’s ‘care&repair’ plan when my warranty period is up in 3 years time. My son has just taken out Ideals ‘care&repair’ plan,...Vaillant/Glow-Worm also...

60cm width, 30cm depth.

I’ve just had a tinker on this online calculator and answered the generic questions; i.e. detached house, 3 beds, 2 bathroom (9 rads in total) in a York postcode and among the suggestions was this 21KW boiler that also meets the requirement of being able to fit into a 30cm wall cupboard...

In a recent communication to ‘tp’ I thought it was a Vaillant boiler but it’s actually a Glow Worm Micron 40FF,....I believe Vaillant absorbed Glow Worms portfolio at some time in the past,...but that’s by the by. However, the house has had a ground floor extension since the boiler was...

My most recent post (last week) was about my sons combi boiler problems,..now sorted thankfully;...however, my daughters (very old!) conventional boiler has just packed in,...again!...it needs replacing,...never rains but it pours. She’d prefer a replacement conventional boiler (not a combi) as...

OP here, update for anyone remotely interested. Having spent some considerable time trying to contact local gas-safe heating engrs I gave up and went for the ‘Ideal Heating’ 6-months ‘repair & care plan’ @ £50/month by direct-debit for 6 months. Ideal engr arrived at 10.30am this morning...

Thanks for that;....no work whatsoever carried out.
