New combi advice

[plentyofdiy]

Hello all,

i was looking for advice/recommendations for a new combi boiler. currently i have a radiant which has lasted a long time around 18 years! but it's time is up.

i am considering a vaillant ecotec/ecofit , main boiler and also intergas. i have 9 radiators 4 bedroom and 1 shower. my current gas pipe is 15mm.

You've come to the right forum, this is the Intergas forum after all.

Intergas all the way, absolutely knocks the socks off the other two. You'll probably need that gas pipe upgrading whichever boiler you go for

which intergas model do you recommend from their range

I'm just about to buy an intergas rapid 32, it's looks a good boiler for the loot, £730 inc standard flue and VAT.
Will be powering 8 rads and an underfloor heating room.

I've been recommended a 28mm supply (around 15m) ... up from current 15mm

ECO RF - 10 year warranty and nice & compact. If you're on a tight budget then the Rapid is still a good boiler, but it's quite big!

 

[Mr Chibs]

it's also a bit heavier...

You can extend the rapid for another 4 years... to 7 for £140 ish... forgot to mention.

Thanks guys.
Does it need be installed by approved installer for the 10 year or 7 warranty?
I don't have an installer in my area

 

[muggles]

Should be a few guys around, what's your nearest town?

The warranty is available to everyone though

Have you considered Navien ? Apparently they have something new to offer the UK boiler market.

You're in luck then - Mike Walton @Mike_W is a very good chap in your area, and also happens to be a forum member

As I work directly for Intergas I see a lot of Mikes installs. I'd have his company work in my own house anytime

Ha-ha! I like it

Just bought the Rapid and I can confirm, it's a lump! both is size (It's no larger than my old boiler) and weight.

The Rapid Plus model, comes with 6 years warranty... I'll be using a third party to fit it.
