Hello - i'm looking to have a new combi boiler fitted and the choice of boiler is currently down to Vaillant or Worcester Bosch. Both are highly recommended on this forum, and my parents and sister both have Vaillant combi boilers fitted (non-condensing), without any problems.
I had an installer provide a quote who recommended the WB Junior 28i. I asked about the Vaillant, to which he responded that the heat exchangers leak and Vaillant after sales support in not very good. I have read elsewhere on this forum that Vaillant after sales is poor.
The other installer recommended the Vaillant 831 ecoTEC plus, but he didn't mention any problems with the heat exchangers or Vaillant after sales support. Is the leaking heat exchanger a common problem?
For info, the house is an end of terrace 1930's with 7 rads, a hot water cylinder, 2 waters tanks in the loft and the boiler is a Stelrad Ideal WLx - RS50. BTW, both installers are corgi registered.
Thanks,
Paresh.
