Hi all,

I am looking at replacing my boiler but not sure which one to go for.

Our service engineer recommended Worcester. A collegue of mine recommended Glow Worm

But what would you guys think or what experiances have you had...

Many thanks.

Les

Yes, they are part of the Vaillant group, but Vaillant are the better boiler. Not to say they are the best, some of the new models have a tendency to split rubber hoses near the heat exchanger.

Glow-Worms use a lot of plastic manifolds which often split, usually on the cold side, so can flood houses if not caught.

But some of the manifolds I've replaced have been strengthened in the weak areas. So maybe not so much of a worry.

The above is true for Worcester also. But Worcesters can be had with a 5 Year Warranty if you find an Accredited Installer.

Ferg and Dirk always praise Remeha, I've no experience of these, but have only heard good things. Worth a look.

He is going to be fitting at the moment but I have seen another company that I have yet to get more info from. As for looking after the boiler which ever I choose I havent asked that question.
