Hi,
I'm going to replace an ageing Potterton Netheat conventional boiler in our 3-bed semi, with something a bit newer and more efficient. I've decided to go down the condensing combi route, sited up in the loft. I've received some quotes for the work, and have narrowed it down to two in the same ballpark. However, the boilers they've suggested are different.
One chap would be fitting an Alpha CD32C with a Honeywell CM67RF optimising thermostat. He's the main-dealer for Alpha-Ocean in our area.
The other guy would be fitting a Worcester Greenstar 30Si with a DT10RF Optimiser. Naturally, he's the main-dealer for Worcester-Bosch in our area.
I confess to knowing nothing about the relative merits of individual boiler brands/models. Given that quotes from these two guys are pretty similar, I'd like to ask for opinions on which boiler brand you would opt for if it were your money you were spending?
Also, is the Honeywell thermostat better than the Worcester one? Could it be fitted to the Worcester boiler instead of the DT10RF?
Thanks in advance.
