[moogwai]

lads....my mate has agreed to a new boiler as i the dhw heat ex he requires to repair his boiler is obsolete. He is looking at selling his house so only wants a cheap boiler fitted....i only ever fit vaillant and baxi so don't know much about the cheaper boilers so any input would be greatful.

all prices include flue,clock and vat from my local supplier

biasi riva plus 24 £505
sime format 25 £540
ferroli modena 25 £570
biasi riva plus 28 £535
ariston e-combi 24 £590
sime format 30 £585
biasi riva advance 32 £649
main eco 25 £585
ferroli fertech 31 £479
pro combi exculsive £495

im leaning towards the main.....but look at the price of the ferroli fertech!!! even though i hate ferroli...blluuurrggghhhhh

I would say heatline is one of the worst out the lot! nice to work on, but still. I would favour the biasi

Heatline were the worst when they marketed the Vizo ! Check the newer ones out, also look at some of the reviews. Surprising good.

The Pro Combi, is just a re branded Ideal Independent with a reduced warranty.
Some posters here have been raving about the new Ideal so for the price I think it's a good buy.

It's the budget boiler I'd recommend to my customers anyway.

The pro combi (exclusive) without a doubt. Rebadged ideal logic, fitted several now including in my own house. From experience I would avoid anything by ferroli. However if selling the house does it matter?

Where can you get the main Eco at £585? There was one of them fitted in the place I bought last year absolutely no complaints with it

local merchant by me in birmingham......it is the 25 and not the 30 though.

The ferolli Modena is two years parts and labour and five year parts only. Mains would be my choice of a bad bunch.

its now 5 years part and labour straight from the reps mouth. fitted 2 not bad but it doesnt come with tails.

 

[Leo21]

I'm always suspicious of reps telling me things, Iike to have it in writing. Also reps never seem to last long and will say anything to sell there product.

 

[julesverne]

seen the new literature it does state 5 year parts and labour

 

[Leo21]

If its in writing, happy days.
