Have you fitted any?There was 10 year warranties going on the Ferroli Modena range too a while back.
Don’t admit it!Have you fitted any?
Fitted about 30 Modenas over the past 5 years, the majority with 7 year warranties. Not bad for a budget boiler, they work well, simple and the engineers in our area are great so can't complain - but saying we know the engineers says it all reallyHave you fitted any?
Wouldn’t have any intention of fitting them to be honest mate.Yep , truly a great bloke , ring him on a Sunday and he will answer the phone , mind you so do I lol

Long warranties, think most of the cheaper brands will start going bust if they have to keep up with the repairs.To be fair to the cheaper brands I think a lot of them are upping their game. They have to with these long warranties flying around.
On a £700 boilerLong warranties, think most of the cheaper brands will start going bust if they have to keep up with the repairs.
If you think some are £500, new HEX and they're probably nearly out of pocket.
Which model?Never liked Ravenheat and had so many breakdowns to fairly new ones in the past I have avoided them like the plague.
That said They have now really upped their game and for this they have totally transformed their new range. All the plastic has gone and replaced with copper and brass, the stainless hex is now 28mm stainless coil and very unlikely to block up and every part can be changed in minutes. I have to say I am very impressed by their new boiler and at £600 for boiler, flue and boilerplus controls has to be a good choice for a budget boiler in my opinion.
Still do not know how reliable it will be, but time will work that one out and I am now going to be fitting one next week and see how it goes. Even got a £50 off voucher for one when I went for my gas safe inspection event day at Ravenheat so winner methinks, and worth the risk.
I dont think they are paying £500 for a new hex.
I heard Worcester pay something like £2 for a pcb.

That wasn't really my point. If the boiler is £500 to buy, lets say it costs £100 (Could be more or less) to make and get to a retailer. If a new HEX is £50 to them as a spare, they've then got the costs maybe two engineers visits (one to diagnose, then a revisit to fit), the cost of the engineer and the running costs of the call centre etc. By the time you've finished you're probably into a minimum of a £200 repair. Get another call out to that boiler and you're nearly at a loss.
Thing is a lot of these smaller manufacturers dont use their own engineers they will use companies and pay them a fixed fee per breakdown and they will supply the parts. They also dont pay a huge amount I worked for a company years ago that did vokera and heatline some jobs they won on others they lost on if they had to go back to a breakdown they lost money. The smaller manufacturers also were very tight with parts and you had to send them back to be tested and if you installed 2 parts they argued every time. Where as the likes of Worcester just throw parts in if they suspect it could be that part.

So do VaillantFerroli have their own engineers too.
Yes I know, just was more of the fact that Millsy was trying to make out the smaller manufactures outsource the engineers/repairs.So do Vaillant
Went to his training course recently and was quite impressed with his boiler. For such a low price, you get all brass components inside, copper tube to EV, stainless steel HEX, easy access, no sharp edges, easy to hang. I'd chose that over WB any time.Has John from ravenheat inspired you?
What was the answer? Buy a better boilerI phoned Biasi technical today. Straight through and he knew the answer immediately
