Isn't vw and merc vans expensive for no reason too pal but still if I were going to get new van I would still take first option VW ! Buy I am to keep my current van until I will be able to get a electric VW transporter or what ever it will be called that size van made by the expensive company VW

It's not hard to steer customers towards a boiler, at the end of the day we work on them day in day out so should be able to explain the benefits of going 'off badge' and getting a better product for less money! Granted some people insist but they are a very small minority.

I don't think the same argument applies Stan. A boiler warms water, and really, all it needs to do is be reliable and to a certain extent efficient, how it drives, how comfortable and secure it is, isn't really a huge concern.

That is your point of you been a trades man . You ask a van dealer and he will tell you the same !
I put it down as from customers point of view Tom

stop putting them in an use another brand, then you wont lose customers and wb will eventually see sense when sales drop off. I had a chat with their rep sometime back, he didnt like my comments about his firm and their products, but I wasnt looking for any favours from him either. eventually they will learn it takes years to build a good reputation and 5 minutes to lose it.

So too all whats your boiler of choice and why?

WB....28 CDi compact today.....32 CDi compact tomorrow, 36 CDi compact Thursday.....because I am accredited and familiar with all their features etc, and its what they ask for when I follow BG etc....

My boiler of choice has been WB mainly as I think they're smaller than comparable boilers by other manufacturers, and pretty easy to work on. They have a good reputation and on the whole are reliable.

I've fitted a few Baxi's Duotecs since Mark starting bigging them up on here a couple of years back.

I also fit a fair few Vaillants.

I don't fit much else reguarly on the gas side. I get the odd random thrown in which could be anything.

On the oil side I fit Grant, and nothing else.

Im quite partial to a firebird now!
i have a warmflow at home which is fine.

firebirds have the burner in the middle, can get to all the connections without fuss.

My brother fits the odd one, and hasn't got anything bad to say about them, but I just don't give people an option when I price up the oil work.

Most people are advised by the installer, and I like to stick to what I know.

On the servicing side, I've found WB to be ok, most of what counts with an oil boiler is the burner and they're all made by a different company to the one who manufacturers the boiler anyway!

I just like grant boilers, I like their customer service, and I have fitted them for years, and I'm a creature of habit!
