Yes, I mean for goodness sake the person recommending a cheap boiler is only recommending what the boys over the counter at his murchants give him the best price on and like him to buy cause they get a tuppny halfpenny bonus for selling one. Anyone recommending such a boiler is not doing so because they are of a high intellect and have a good understanding of the mechanics of it all.
You have to look at a lot of issues when deciding on a boiler for a customer. I even got it wrong yesterday. I fitted another cheapish band A boiler, which I thought was a good boiler choice at the price the people of Scarborough can afford. But sadly when starting it up it's one for the service call, which I'll have to put in today as it was 7.30 last night when I found out. They might take two days to come.
If I had fitted a boiler that I am a sercice engineer for I would have just fixed it on the spot. Nothing worse for a customer than a new combi not working on install. But my favoured boiler that I have the parts for costs maybe £100 to £150 more. I shall include this experience though in my recommendation talk next time. Last night this guy was lamost about to say that he wanted me to take out his new boiler and fit the other, but I disuaded him before he expressed it, as it will be alright in the end, nothing wrong with the boiler choice, (I think) just one of those things. But there is a very good point to only fitting what yoiu have a healthy stock of parts for.
To follow on from Tony, though I do have a vested interest in Biasi also, they are a good quality cheap boiler.
I mean it's not like my vested interest is that big, they've sent me to 3 jobs so far! Big deal.
And I am going off Ariston big time after the diabolical design of the way the ignition flame spreads (or doesn't) across the burner aray on the early mgII, 'cause it's got me into a lot of trouble with a customer who has a brain the size of a peanut and a mouth four times the size of the mental cpacity to fill it with intelligent ideas.
