After the best part of 30 years old (we reckon), we are retiring the old girl (Baxi Solo WM50/4) due to it being in the way of our plans for an extension. I think we are due a new one anyway!
My dad has a Worcester 30kw CDi that he had installed a few years ago, no problems.
A visit from the one of the guys tonight has put my idea of Worcester out the window as he said they are a nightmare to work on and full of plastic fittings.
Now I sympathize being an engineer myself and I do fit products that are easier to maintain for my self but it being hard work to work on isnt a priority as I can't really work on it myself. Reliability is.
He recommended a Baxi 825 or a main which I'd never heard of myself until finding out it was part of the Baxi group which makes sense.
I figured I'm gonna get less biased feedback from here as you lot have nothing to gain from helping a fellow member out. Any insight would be massively appreciated.
I'm also looking at the smart controller side too, again not quoted yet but I'd say he may plug for the Baxi usense. I believe it needs hardwiring in which isn't ideal. Again any advice would help me greatly.
I fear due the current boiler age, I'm massively out of touch with how things have moved on!
