Guest Electric Yetis Posted 20 August 2020 Posted 20 August 2020 Anyone have any recommendations for a company to install a new combi boiler for a small semi detached? And any particular make. Our old one is currently pissing water out of the bottom every time we try to get hot water.

Raj Posted 21 August 2020 Posted 21 August 2020 Get a local good recommended plumber. NOT British Gas as they will rape you. Boiler wise we e got a Worcester and its fab.
Big Dave Posted 21 August 2020 Posted 21 August 2020 Worcester Bosch all the way. Get 2-3 quotes - installation prices will vary widely. Only a days work if a direct replacement.
Crinklyfox Posted 21 August 2020 Posted 21 August 2020 Please be aware that many heating engineers are paid a commission by the boiler manufacturers to install their boilers, so if you ask them for a recommendation you may not get an unbiased opinion. I had lots of problems with our previous boiler but now have an Ideal Logic and have not had any problems with it.

Nalis Posted 21 August 2020 Posted 21 August 2020 Another vote for a Worcester. You need to get it service every year though thats a small inconvenience

BG is at least double, so, don’t bother…. The HomeCare is great though (in the main!) I do weirdly have some insight here (although from a a few years ago) Worcester Greenstar specifically was/ is the best of the bunch from what I’ve seen on a fairly comprehensive review of reliability and performance
Chiltern Fox Posted 21 August 2020 Posted 21 August 2020 How about a veissmans? Not as well known as Worcester Bosch, but highly recommended by installers. I have a storage combi.
woollett the bullet Posted 23 August 2020 Posted 23 August 2020 If choosing a combi, as mentioned, Worcester bosch greenstar or valiant have a good reputation in the trade. Make sure the output is is big enough for your demands and if anything err on the larger side. I chose the greenstar ( 8 years ago) not missed a beat. Check guarantee details too industry standard then was 7 years. As for fitting choose an installer who is reasonably local and comes well recommended personally. Some companies use seasonal sub contractors and although perfectly safe can be a bit bish bosh bash , rushing to make a quick buck. Cheapest ain't always the best
