Worcester or Vaillant Boiler?
Discussion
I've had a quote for a replacement CH boiler & there is a choice between a Worcester Greenstar 30i or a Vaillent Ecotec Plus 831. The Vaillent is £60 more & a bit larger, but both have 7 year warranties. The water supply is hard & we don't have a water softener (they have included an inline scale reducer in the quote).
Are the two boilers much the same or does one have a better reputation than the other?

Option 3 - keep the one you have?
Not really: it's a 20 year old Baxi back boiler I installed myself back in the day when you could do that sort of thing. I've already changed the cast iron heat exchanger once & I don't really want to do it again.marshall100 said:
Paying for the badge on either.
What would you suggest then? Do you know of a reliable installer in the Reading/Wokingham area who can quote?it looks like a majority vote for Vaillant then. The warranty is claimed to be 7 years parts & labour so I hope the cost of spares doesn't come into it.
Thanks to everyone for responding.
