Your mate must be busy signing them off for you.No. Quite a few different brands.

You are, but hey that's fine by me. I don't care as long as you don't pop up in the combustion chamber pot again & abuse it.
No fighting please! I'm just looking for professional opinions!
"professionals" ( on this forum ) seem to recommend boilers that are advertised to the public.
There are many other makes that are not advertised to the public. Many of the brands that are not advertised to the public are just as good as the well known brands.
Some brands sell by reputation, others rely on advertising directed to the public.

Go with what your chosen installer recommends as he will (hopefully) be looking after it and you for a number of years.
Sensible advice indeed. The issue being one wants Baxi and the other wants Vailliant! I guess what I'm really looking for is if there is a particular reason not to go for either of the 2.

Professional opinions cost money,
DIY banter is free,
Go with what your installer is confident to fit and maintain,check out the warranty small print as well.See whats covered
.
I wouldn't recommend Intergas.
Out of interest Steel, with the info provided on this one, what would you go for?
In that case.... The Vailliant guy communicates better and seemed more knowledgeable. He's also a general plumber (other guy just does boilers) and having recently moved house it would be good to get a decent plumber!What we're saying is that you are really choosing an installer not a boiler!
There you go. The start of a beautiful relationship . And I think Vaillants are good boilers - I just have a bit of an issue with their market share as they spend big bucks on marketing. But they're easy to service and repair and parts are readily available and many engineers available familiar with them.
Just make sure your CH system is nice and clean - all the best.

The vailant I had installed the plumber could not big it up enough. He said to me he would fit any boiler I wanted but recommended that for efficiency, low faults, easy to work with. Coming from someone who is not accredited to a certain make and has no other reason to fit something good other than it will last and stop me calling him I thought that was a good choice.
Another deciding factor for me was noise the boiler is in my kitchen below bedroom and the potterton would wake me up in the winter when it came on. The vailant is whisper quiet.
