In my last days of working for my previous employer who are a large player in the gas market I fitted an Alpha Intec2 CBX24.
I'm now self employed having got fed up of the high amount of political bull**** of working for big companies. Anyway back to the boiler..
It got me thinking at the time as the customer said he couldn't turn it down as the quote in comparison to a Worcester was around £500 cheaper and the guy was clearly on a budget.
This got me thinking now that whilst I personally working for myself would prefer to fit a worcester or vailant because there after sales support speaks for itself I need to able to offer a budget boiler where the money clearly isn't there to fund a 2k worcester change.
I've been looking into cheaper boilers as I've also had the pleasure of working on some down right awful cheap boilers in the past.
My current thinking is am Alpha intec2 can be had for 500-600£ but there customer service is shocking as they do not have a fleet of engineers.
I was recommended a heat line as it's basically a budget vailant/glowworm inside. Has anyone fitted one of these new Capriz headlines? They are 400-500£ with flue and analogue clock which is ridiculously cheap. I am hearing rumours they are vailant owned too. If that's the case does that mean Home service are covering the warranty call outs because if that is the case it's a clincher for me. At that price it's a no brainer for the right sort of customer..
