After putting up with my truely dreadful Halstead gas combi for far too long, it's time to replace! If you were to choose between a Vaillant, Veismann or worcester bosch, what would you choose and why? Maybe I'll also throw an Ideal into that mix too? Output around 30kw. Thanks!

Anyway, if I was going to recommend a boiler it would be the Remeha Avanta.

Everybody I spoke to and everything I read recommended Vaillant and Worcester Bosch. I believe Worcester Bosch are slightly more simple to install, and Vaillant are slightly easier to repair. I have the latter, seems good but it's early days.

The Remeha is a well built boiler, from the internal layout to the way the front case clips on, but as everyone else will say Worcester,they must know what they are talking about. rolleyes

Exactly what I had fitted at the begining of the year. 5 year warranty and, so far so good. I got the 39Kw model so it really pumps out the heat and the hot water (combi).

Ooops, I think the t may have been accidental, still it does give a certain regional flavour tongue out

Thanks for the combi recommendations, and the burco of course! Best get kettle on now

For the money, Vaillant..... every time. Good product, very reliable and good support from engineers in times of strife.
