I am changing my old Glow Worm boiler for a new one and am looking at the Baxi Solo 15 HE or the Worcester Bosch 15 Ri and I'm not sure which one to go for and would welcome any comments and feed back.
Fitted loads of solos and never had a single problem with also it is a far more common boiler and no one will shy a way from it when you call them.
I'm beginning to feel like sticking with my old boiler as the new boilers seem to have lots of problems by the sound of it. My 19 year old Glow Worm Economy 40b has never had a problem until this last winter when the thermocoupler had to be replaced and then one of my radiators leaked and was replaced which then meant we needed a power flush as it wouldn't work at first. As Eon doesn't do power flushes on the boiler contract we have to get someone in to do it but they suggested we balance the radiators out by having only one on at a time - a slow tedious job but it worked until recently and we have load squealing noises when it turns off, so it looks like it really needs to be done. We decided to get a new boiler and fit it in a new place - my old boiler pipework is causing problems with the new kitchen wall units we are having fitted thanks to B & Q failing to measure accurately. I thought I'd go with a new boiler as I need to sort out the fitting problem and also at 19 years old I'm not sure how much longer it's likely to last and I could be chucking good money after bad if I keep it. Decisions, decisions!!
