Hi, Im new to the site & would greatly appreciate some expert advice.
My parents applied for the Warmfront grant. They had a surveyor come to see them last week & authorise a new boiler. Currently they have a Vaillant 824 which is over 10 years old. The surveyor told them Vaillant boilers are not supllied by Warmfront but they would get a Worcester 28i Junior (which he confirmed is a very good boiler!).
Parents had phone call from installers to make an apponitemnt to install boiler. When they asked about the boiler they were told that it would be an Ideal Logic 30 combi not Worcester. Apparently they dont install Worcester boilers in their post code area ????
When my parents told me about this, I was a little perturbed as I had an old Ideal boiler in my last house & it was crap but this is going back 10 years!! If warmfront aren't going to supply a good bolier I think I'd rather persuade my parents not to go for it.
Can anyone advise as to whether you think we should accept the Ideal Logic?
Do you have any experience with these boliers?
Is is worth pursuing the Worcester?
Does anyone know why they can't install the Worcester? Surely the surveyor would have known if they couldn't install in the area!!
Also they want to install 28/12. I'm a bit concerned , especially if the weather stays like this. How long does a boiler take to install?
