Central Heating Boiler

[melv16]

Mines decided to go belly up this morning and definitely needs replacing. Anyone got any recommendations regarding make of boiler.

Worcester Bosch.

Vaillant; Worcester; also Potterton; Baxi Eco

Always pay more than the "average" price, Melv.

[RATTER15]

I dont suppose you live in Wales, if you do, and you are on a means tested benefit, you can get a free one supplied and fitted.

[ummmm]

I used to work for a plumber and he always recommended a Worcester.

[melv16]

Thanks for the replies. I'll be boiling water on the hob and using a watering can for a shower :-(

[Zacs-Master]

No immersion heater?

[BRIGHT SPARK]

NJ....Think of the BP....:-)......melv..get one with a stainless heat exchanger and a 10 year warranty.

Combi boiler, zacs. So no hot water:-(

[Tilly2]

Our boilers on the blink too, Melv. We need to get British Gas out........again!

[jack daniels]

yep ours went yesterday along with the toaster earlier in the week, tv remote control, mouse on computer.
No heating, luckily still got immersion tank so got hot water and the electric en-suite shower that the whole household is using!!!
Toast made under the grill.......but the house is so cold

I told you that double yolked eggs were an omen, Tilly. You've put a hex on me! :-) All that's missing is an outside toilet to bring back memories of my childhood... Now, where's that tin bath and something to scrape the ice from the inside of the bedroom windows. Who said they were the good old days :-\

Get an electric blanket, join a health club for shower, shave, socials & save £££s on service costs.

[Tilly2]

Melv's not shaving at the moment, Tambo. He's doing Movember.
That's a good idea, though. I might try that Health Club thing.

[ummmm]

My heating is always packing in but we do have an immersion, underfloor heating and gas fire, so it doesn't usually bother me too much.

Another problem is what controls to have. Do I choose wireless, hard wired, internet controlled.... Oh, the agony of choice. Meanwhile it's showers using a watering can, with the Mrs ;-)
