It was the main reason for buying it

We just had an Alpha Eco2 fitted http://www.alpha-innovation.co.uk/products/Boilers/Combination+Boilers/Eco2/591535935

£900 inc. fitting/flush etc.

5 year warranty if you fit a filter to it too. 4 if you don't.

Doesn't gas boilers cost a lot more then an oil boiler to run :confused:

We put in a Worcester Greenstar (46, I think) last year. Hasn't missed a beat.

Do you remember how much you paid?

Have an Ideal Combi 35 in our house, been in it in a year and so far hasn't missed a beat (as you would hopefully expect!) time will only tell, however the odd few times I have range the customer service on a few minor things they have been excellent.

New build with Ideal Heat 15 installed for the last 3 years, zero issues and lowest gas bills I've ever had.

I know what you meant. I will always go for the longer warranty over brand. Have only heard good things about Alpha by several friends in the trade. Their CS is great too.

What is the difference between these boilers?

1) Worcester Greenstar 28CDi Compact

2) Worcester Greenstar 25Si Compact

Both are compact boilers but the CDi IIRC is slightly bigger and has better internal parts.

Yeah but do you?

A name like WB costs a premium but are the parts any different/better?

Yes their parts are much better and generally if things go wrong they'll be out to sort things out quicker.

Went with a Worcester Greenstar 38CDi Classic combi boiler, better hot water flow, anything will be better than my current mavity fed system, the hot water pressure is very low, new system to be fitted in the New Year

Im not looking forward to the cost of replacing our mavity system, first job for me is to replace all the central heating pipes and radiators. Then the company doing the boiler will just need to pipe in to the pipes i lay.

Good stuff! :cool:

I've been really happy with my Worcester 38CDi since it was put in, hasn't missed a beat.

Hope the install goes smoothly for you in the new year

Thanks Valo, will get 10 years guarantee from Worcester Bosch, yep I hope the install goes smoothly, fingers crossed

Nice one!

I got my warranty increased from 7 to 8yrs just by having a Worcester Boiler Filter fitted during the install. I was planning on dong that anyway so it was a no brainer and gives you that added piece of mind.

New Worcester Bosch 38 CDi classic installed on Tuesday, took two full days with three men working on it, they decommisioned the old mavity fed hot water sytem and removed the old parts.

A new bigger gas feed straight from the meter was connected to the new boiler, comfort rf1 controller fitted with wireless thermostat.

Hot water pressure is much improved, having a powerful hot shower is so nice without the fear of running out of hot water and no need to wait for hot water after a day out.

New boiler is much quieter than the ancient system, outside temperature beginning to get cold, new boiler installed at the right time, happy days

Good stuff, we put the 42 version in last year and it's been faultless.
