I'm looking at the following WB combi boilers - 28CDi Compact and 30Si Compact, both seem similar dimensions. Other than the output, what are the notable differences between these 2 models - the CDi and Si? There's only 2 boilers in the Si range, so I'm wondering why the don't form part of the CDi compact product range.

Oh, and are there any pitfalls to choosing this model over the larger 'classic' WB combis? Size is at a premium which is why I'm looking at the compact range.

The compact CDi and the compact SI are both the same boiler, same case.

The central heating output on these boilers is only 24kw, whichever Compact you choose, so depending on how many rads you have you may need a bigger central heating output and would possible have to go for the CDi Classic boiler.

The difference with these boilers is the hot water flow rate. If you test your incoming cold main then you will be able to gauge which boiler will suit your property.

We are on track to fit 120 Worcester's this year, I would not fit anything else.

5 Years standard accredited add 2 years fit Worcester filter add another year but the filters pants
 
Target 1st year done : now registering for silver
target year two is to go over 50 boilers and become GOLD
furure is bright when you are from another planet :) lol
 
Worcester must be doing something right if someone is installing 120 a year, if there was something wrong with them no one would do that, maybe you chaps who don't like them are not fitting them correctly that's why they are failing, undersized and working their nuts off, AssuredHeating and SafeGas are sizing their system spot on., my boiler isn't under sized, its on low fire when the systems up to temp. It's only a thought, what really is everybody's problem with WB, lets not be generic about it, what falls off and what fails on a WB, surely all boiler parts fail sometime are you saying WB have more failures, some parts they don't even make, can we get to the bottom of this cause I am intrigued some keep slating WB, is it price really.
 
I fit WB mainly cos I don't get any call backs and there customer service is as good as john lewis ! I work in London only and customers are happy with there boilers . What more can you ask for !?
I am not making things up or trying to boost there sells , just saying what helps me to build my business .

Im definately not fitting them correctly, I don't fit them. Because I don't like the way you have to fit so many to get a decent warranty. If the Cust wants a Worcestor they'll just choose the guy with the most warranty.
I,ve never liked the way they put them together, some of them are pigs to get to bits. Diverters at the back or behind plate hex,s or above the electronics!
"because were not fitting them right" cheeky git.
 
Leo,


You missed off the OLD "Cheeky old git" I knew someone would have a pop at an old engineer. It will be interesting to see if other lads have the same slant on it as you, warranty tied up to numbers you buy, bit strange company policy that, BTW I did say fitting them under size and working their nuts off, I am certain if you are GSR you will fit them to the WB installation guide and to your good practices, I have no doubt of that Leo.
 
BTW I spoke to John Guest engineer once about a project I had to go and look at with leaks on their push-fit fitting, he said they don't
make faulty fitting, they are just installed incorrectly

Cracking response. You old git:)
 
Leo,

I am Ugly too which is a bonus when your eyesight is going, but I'll bet I could still hang a boiler on the wall it would be straight and level and I would be allow to do that!! Buy it from B&Q....:asshole:

And I thought I knew you Anthony. How could you, with Worcestors off all things!
 
Leo,

I can't get my head around the Worcester policy, the more boilers you install the better the warranty deal for the client, how does that accurately work or have I got the wrong end of the stick.

Buckley, how much more do you pay for a WB over and above any other boiler.

I know that the custards don't think of it this way if a boiler had to be replaced every three years it would still be cheap, if you change your car every three years they always want about £8000.00 off you for the swap.

Heat team have 6 or 7 engineers for every Worcester !
 
If they are so bad how the hell do they manage to sell any, are the chaps on here who are installing them got their heads
in the clouds. Maybe that's why they are selling them in B&Q now, can't sell them to the trade.
 
No it's because they guarantee if you call them before 10am they will aim to reach you before 7pm that day....... Worcester ....... Yes we will be there on Friday next week between 8 and 5 and we will need a £360.00 deposit.

They will get there, take the case off the boiler, pretend they have taken a water sample and say the system wasn't cleaned and the warranty is now void. They then repeat this throughout the day.
 
Have WB seen this forum, not that it would worry them I am sure, our views on here are not a true representation of the UK domestic heating industry.

I wonder what Ray Stafford thinks he's got to be the expert on this one

I've never had that with worcester. If it's gone down then their out really quick most of. The time next day latest. If it's working still then you have to wait a bit but that's understandable. That could be down to the company fitting hundreds a year.

As for the guarantee they reward installers who fit their boilers regularly so if you are worcester accredited they help you. Great business sense.

I'm not a massive worcester fan I would rather see a Vaillant on the wall but their aftercare and sales are the best in the business. How many times do you spend 20 mins on hold to there tech line? I'm usually through within a minute. It's a free phone number. Yes the parts are plastic but that keeps costs down. My only 1 gripe is the design on most Worcesters going back years is poor and could be a lot better.
