which is the best combi boilers

[mickyg]

dont get a 937. You probably dont need a store combi, its overkill and your just buying a whole bunch of extra parts to go wrong.
you'll get a load of different opinions on whats the best boiler. Better to ask what to avoid so you dont get lumbered with a lemon. Have a chat with the installer see what he advises.
For what its worth I'd recommend an ATAG A325ecx, will fill your bath quite adequately and more efficient then any other combi boiler on the market.

Ok
Should have asked you to take a reading with no other taps open.

What you have there, with another tap open is around 8.5 lpm, which is all your current boiler will do anyway.

So this is your worst case scenario for hot water flow, if someone opens another tap, flushes the loo, or puts washing m/c on etc. Maybe not aproblem most of the time, but it is normally when you are in the shower when it happens

Try the other measurement, I would expect you to get around 13 lpm.

If that is the case, then a 30kw boiler should fulfill your needs adequately.

so are you saying to try with just one tap open the cold water

 

[linkyplumb]

Ye do a reading with just the tap open that you are testing from

hi there i just done a 10ltr bucket in 00:50:2 seconds

That's 12 litres/min, which is just about OK for a shower, provided nothing else is running at the same time.

A 30kW boiler will be fine as linkyplumb suggested.

thanks for all the info will start looking around for a new one now

Hello,

We have installed around 200 logics and to be honest they are a really good boiler. Very well built.

I actually installed one in my own house about four months ago.

You would pay around £630 for the 30kw logic plus boiler, 50 for flue and £55 for a wireless programmer (plus vat)

Some folk slate ideal but I can only comment on what I see.

We also fit a lot of Worcester boilers and you can't bet hem for service. We had a call out last week for a seized oil pump and it turned out to be water in the tank, not a warranty claim but Worcester replaced it free of charge. Can't buy that kind of service.

Good luck with whatever you go for

I'd personally install a Valliant over a Worcester for the reason that if/when there was a component failure Valliant boilers are far simpler to work on.

For example, replacing a passing PRV on a greenstar is beyond rediculus!

That's not true, you just need tiny little hands! Maybe a fifth the size of a normal human
