Re: new boiler
We had Worcester-Bosch combi boilers installed in our last 2 apartments. They replaced old Ferroli boilers that were a) past their useful life but still just about working, b) total rubbish as far as being able to control water temperatures.In our new place the previous owner had an Ideal combi fitted (early last year). While it's OK-ish, I wouldn't have chosen it, I would have had another WB 25CDi with all its bells and whistles.

For example, for every heating installer who sings the praises of W-B, another will decry it as being crepe and insist that his favourite is far superior!

And if Moonraker (a friend of mine that joined OFF at the same time as me) would post on here, he'd tell you that Vaillant were the mutt's nuts. His son's a heating engineer and used to install nothing but.
