Baxi Duo-tec Combi 33 thoughts?

[MetManMark]

Hi all
Having read a little online including comments on this forum I had decided on a Valliant. Essentially we have just bought a fairly large period house (ie with poor insulation!) with the one bathroom. Initially I had gravitated to a Worcester but having read a little thought that the Valliant would be a better bet. While one local plumber said that he would recommend a Valliant, our preferred plumber has recommended the Baxi Duo-tec Combi 33.
Any thoughts?
Cheers
Mark

very good boiler, good hot water output, easy to work on. whats the difference in price and warranty?

Mark, Are your plans to leave the house as it is eco wise? 33kW is a lot of heat! reason i ask is because if your gonna super insulate then 33kW is only then useful when hot water is demanded. How good a flow do you have into the home?

In my opinion there's a lot more important things to consider before you look at manufacturer to supply the needs! Baxi Platinum, by-the-way, if your gonna choose baxi! IMO :sailor:

Hi Diamondgas
The place is listed so there is not a whole lot that can be done regarding the sizeable singly glazed sash windows or the 3m high ceilings or solid walls
Baxi Platinum???

I hate to admit it but after vowing never to fit another Baxi product, Iam really impressed with the duotech. (I still prefer Viessmann products though).

Platinum is the duotec with the added guarantee that she can't leave you for 5 years! LOL... Well unless you turn out to be durty!!!!!!

Thats not quite true diamond as long as it is serviced every year you have the 5 year warranty , you could use someone different every year if you wanted.
Great boilers though. Try the Duo TEC 2 even better or wait for the new Platinum in Sept cheaper than before !

Toddyplumb, I was having an attempt to be humerus regarding the 5 year guarantee :jester:... I look after a few Platinums others have installed and am aware that you don't have to have the Baxi boys maintain them. However I can see how it may read like you do... Thanks for pointing out.. :rockon2:
