New combi boiler

[howy1]

Hello all,
I have had a very bad experience with the boiler i have had for the last 10 years ish , it is a baxi bahama combi , but i think its getting close to its final breath . My question is can anyboby reccomend a combi that i will have some peace of mind with in regards reliability and serviceing , all info apprieciated

as tony agile says "it aint the boiler its the standard of installation" this can make or break any boiler

makes sure that the system is clean as a whistle before the new one goes up

we fit worcester bosch and, fingers crossed, no problems yet

Thanks for replying corgiman , as for what you are saying regarding bad installation i agree to a point , but installation as far as i know does not cause pcb`s to fail and fans and expansion vessels to name but a few , flow switches which were belt fed , yes

PCBs and fans can fail over a boiler life of 10 years. Some last the life of a boiler and some fail early.

An expansion vessel is often replaced when it only needs pressurising. Dirty water can also cause these to fail.

I had an email about an ex work colleague who has been diagnosed as having a brain tumour and in reality is not very likely to survive. There is no replacement brain for him!

Although I mainly do repairs I have never had any faults on any boilers which I have fitted except the Ideal Icos on which all seven needed new PCBs.

Likewise i am sorry to hear about your mate , most of the faults on this boiler did occur in its early life and carried on sparodically , perhaps i had the friday afternoon special !

Sorry, no. It was a joke. Please don't buy one. Just don't.
