Combi Boiler Recomendations

[HansMum]

Hi, our combi boiler has just been condemmed by BG, so now we have to buy a new one i've had a 2nd opinion and its got a hole caused by corrosion in the combustion chamber

The BG guy said if it was him he would fit a Greenstar 30CDI (3 bed house, 7 radiators)....

What do others recommend or is Greenstar a good bet? Found it for £763.84 inc VAT & Delivery, i know we'll have to have it fitted.

Thanks

I think a Vaillant ecoTEC+ 831 or 837 would be better than the Worcester.

I agree, go for the Vaillant. Beware though, supplying it yourself will probably leave you with only the manufacturers warranty and none from the installer apart from his pipework connections.

definately vaillant over the worcester as already mentioned, viessmann worthy of mention too.

Worcester....much more sensibly sized boiler, those vaillant things are like pregnant ladies

Worcester....much more sensibly sized boiler,

which is why they are an absolute pig to work on

Err, the Worcester Greenstar 30CDI dimensions:

Height: 760mm
Width: 440mm
Depth: 360mm

The Vaillant equivalent (Vaillant ecoTEC+ 831)

Height:720mm
Width: 440mm
Depth: 335mm

I wasn't trying to contradict you
