Buget Boilers....

[bluemoonstan]

Hi everyone. What boilers do people recommend for those on a budget? fitted a few vailant but people want cheaper nowadays..

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

main i only fit potterton heat max(BAXI duotec 1 in disguise but there not the cheapest)if someone wants cheaper the main is very close to the heatmax anyway price wise

 

[Halesowen1]

Heard a lot of good things about Intergas, they are reasonable on the pocket too.

 

[tamz]

Mark will hate me for this but the Logic isn't a bad boiler :lol:

 

[gasmarc]

intergas is not a budget boiler imho

 

[Rickster123]

Mark will hate me for this but the Logic isn't a bad boiler :lol:

Haha welcome to the dark side Tamz !!

 

[Rickster123]

The logic is a great budget boiler. I would highly recommend them. And they do a lovely easy to use easy to fit wireless programmable stat.

 

[tamz]

I know. I have fitted 7 of them now and i am quite impressed :lol:

 

[gasmarc]

i fitted the cheaper ideal one for £450 and the customer was well happy considering i quoted for an intergas

 

[tamz]

intergas is not a budget boiler imho

Only one i have seen was hanging on a stand in Plumblines (plumbase). Technically a good boiler but too obscure and poor back up in Scotland. Not many fitted up this way. Not that cheap either.

intergas is not a budget boiler imho

It is compared to WB or Vaillant, Baxi to name a few.
I was surprised how cheap they are compared to these, lets just hope they are as good as people say though.
£70 dearer than the Logic and £300 cheaper than WB.

 

[Rickster123]

You've kept that under your kilt a bit haven't you?! 7 logics?! If you listen very carefully you can hear gasman sharpening his axe!

 

[gasmarc]

It is compared to WB or Vaillant, Baxi to name a few. Yes you are right because they are robbing gits the first two , I have found the intergas good myself

Got to cut costs somewhere and my cut will be the last to drop.

 

[GQuigley67]

another vote for the logic

 

[GQuigley67]

will probably try glow worm next see how they are as i am a club energy member now so can get benefits

 

[fixter1]

potterton heatmax £565 flue and clock all in from pts thats what ive been getting them for

 

[sparra1100]

am the same as gasman potterton heatmax and for landlords i go for the new gloworm betacom A 28kw £499+vat

 

[quality]

I have said the Logic and Logic+ is a good boiler since it came out and the independent is a cheaper alternative but basically the same boiler with less warranty. I see a trend of ideal converts emerging.

Ps I have changed 2 chocolate worcester fans this week both less than 5 years old

 

[GQuigley67]

ive been fitting them on contract and also fitted a few espirit 2 aswells, the icos older brother

 

[wnjswozo]

how much are the intergas ones,boiler,flue,clock.
i,m a veissmann man,but little pricy for l/lords

 

[Alpha man]

My local PTS are doing the Alpha Intec 24X and flue for £499!!

 

[quality]

I can buy Intergas 24 for just short of £800 with std flue no clock.#
But to be honest with the results and performance I have had I would pay more.
I will certainly never buy worcester ever again Full of plastic leaking stuff and I have bad times with many Baxi/main even though I have never fitted any.
My theory is
Budget Ideal independant
Mediocre Logic or +
Quality Intergas

 

[P4ULT]

when i went on the ideal course on monday the trainer was sure the independant was a rebadged logic for certain suppliers.

 

[wnjswozo]

p4ult whats the independant? never heard of it

 

[northcarr]

idependent is the same as the ideal logic just rebadged for the trade also comes with flue and built in clock
:yes:

 

[E4gas]

Main is a excellent budget boiler ,

 

[gasmarc]

The intergas comes with a built in clock and all the parts are interchangeable and only 4 moving parts

 

[GQuigley67]

might start looking into the intergas boilers, they claim they invented the condensing boiler in 1989, looks like a good bit of kit and there is a supplier in edinburgh. Much is the spare parts kit ??

 

[gasmarc]

you wont need a spare kit they come with a 5 year guarantee if you do their course. I know a service engineer for them and he doesnt even bother carrying the breakdown case anymore as he had it in the van for 6 months and got no calls. I use to install viessmann but had a load of agg with them

 

[GQuigley67]

again training is too far away for me grrrrrrrrrrr when they going to give us more help up north

Plumbline are doing them.

 

[CES]

Might look into Intergas as well, Didn't know Plumbline were selling them, Thanks Tamz!

 

[tamz]

They had one on a stand last time i was in Sighthill branch. First one i had ever seen.

 

[Mbear]

I'd never fit an ideal unless the cust wanted it. The Isar would get u hung for recommending it.

Basically the Isar put me off ideals for life.

Promax 24 £599 at mr central heating is a decent buy at the min. Comes with flue and standard timer
