Help choosing a boiler

[gerbils]

Looking at these, anyone have any advice?

Also as we are connecting it to 30 year old rads, I assume it's worth having a pro flush which both these outfits offer?

4 Bed house, 2 showers, 1 bath, 4 occupants.

Set on a combi because we want the extra storage space given by removing the hot water tank + 2 huge water tanks in the loft and benefit of better shower pressure.

They look expensive and I believe Veissmann parts can be expensive too.

Yeah they are expensive, but also cheaper (or in a few cases the same) as any in-person quotes we've had from local plumbers.

Sorry, hadn’t read properly, I thought that was just for the boiler

There was a time on this forum when a question such as 'which boiler' would be swamped, and I do mean swamped, with posts from Intergas fanboys especially from the main rep. They seem to have disappeared and I haven’t seen them mentioned for ages. What happened to them?

Maybe it was realised they’re not as good as folk make out. I liked them when we first started using them, now all I see are more and more premature breakdowns. Some is down to a poor system, which would hit any boiler, but some are due to component failure.

Don't get rid of tanks.

Dare I suggest you ask a local installer what they would supply and fit?
