you should have had it fitted by an RGI , but even then Ferolli probably wouldnt come out, you have probably the worst boiler on the market, this however is arguable, you have bought a really cheap boiler and will soon buy another cheap one because you think you are saving money but untill you buy a decent one and pay a professionall to install it you will keep having issues

I was considering buying one of these boilers, are they really so poor?

OH yes dont go near it they are absolute crap and Ferolli will do anything and everything to get out of carrying any repairs under warranty

Can I suggest that you learn some punctuation?

It would make your posts much easier to read.

give Ferolli a call they are looking for salesmen, I am a breakdown engineer and have seen hundreds of Ferollis so think I am a bit more qualified than you to assess their reliability, on the positive side i have made a small fortune fixing the piles of **** over the years, so here is hoping people like you keep buying them

Absolute crap!

However the new Modena C HE 27 and 32KW are a total different story. Not intending to advertise here, just praising and reviewing what I consider to be a worthy product.

Basically Ferroli knew they were going under in the UK and the rats were deserting the ship. I wouldn't touch their stuff with a double extended barge pole! Then one day I was invited for a free curry night where I was given a peek at these Modena C boilers. After a quick insight and another free day training where again I was well fed and watered. I decided to try one. I am about to fit number 10 and have had no problem so far with any of them.

What I like about them :-
Competitively priced boiler
Competitively priced spares
First boiler I've known with a replaceable fan PCB
Only 4 moving parts
Salus RF500bc fits straight in but you will need 2 400mm'ish' wires each with a single spade connector.
2/5 year guarantee [5 If the servicing is up to date]
Like I say I haven't had a problem but I'm told you get priority attention at their call centre if you have a Modena.
Light lift weight
Compact
Quiet.

A few negatives:-
Manual has been translated from Italian and could be worded better. [I'm told an engineer has re-written them and the new version will soon be available.]
The condensate trap leaked on some earlier versions caused by a bit of ragged plastic casting on the boiler portion of the trap. 1 minute with a file sorts it out!
Need to take care when wiring the clock. Make a note of where the connections are before you fit the boiler control into the holder.

One point to note.
Fit the PRV pipe first for an easier life.
