I am looking to replace 2 boilers in adjacent properties .... both currently have Baxi 100HE Heat only boilers.
They are connected to thermal stores (1.5bar)
Pressure vessel, thermostat, pumps and controls are taken care of separately, so the boilers are used simply ...... i.e. they get a call for heat via the 220V AC circuit goes live, they provide heat, modulate as necessary, until such time as 220V is dropped.
Been working for almost 20 years, system design works well, but both boilers becoming increasingly unreliable, and although under contract the first response each time is .... needs replacing, we can do you a special deal on the new boiler.
Plus diagnostics on the boilers are almost zero.
I know the Intergas models are usually mentioned, but there seems to be no approved installer in S.Wales. Intergas though advised I can get full warranty as long as installed by any Gas Safe engineer. (surprising as some are useless)
They advised their OV 30 model would suit.
Valiant would not approve their models (with SS heat exchanger) for use with the thermal store.
Any other makes I should consider .... want a basic HEAT only model, with stainless Steel heat exchanger, and a good reputation, the current maintenance company advise Baxi HEAT 600 is a good consideration.
I had thought about Worcester - but lots of disparaging comments here.
