After this it is five year as standard. We are approved installers and can vouch for the reliability of this product. There is also a ten year warranty being offered by Sime on their new combi, never fitted one so Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37476956.post-65338495011167866052011-07-04T07:02:40.044+01:002011-07-04T07:02:40.044+01:00I have been fitting Gloworm's recently and so ...I have been fitting Gloworm's recently and so far they have not had any problems and were sensibly priced. Whatever you go for, avoid Ravenheat!! One of my properties has one of these and it is no end of trouble, horrifically unreliable and British Gas had no clue how to fix it when it went wrong (again) last year. This boiler is on its last warning now and will be getting changed soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37476956.post-89616238209584903312011-06-28T10:21:52.477+01:002011-06-28T10:21:52.477+01:00I had a bunch of Vailants put into a block of flat...I had a bunch of Vailants put into a block of flats.

Remember all boilers are very electronic rather than mechanical now which reduces reliability and increases cost! Before rushing to the Logic, which is an improvement for Ideal, consider the merits of its predecessors: Response; Isar/Icos. It would be hard not to improve on these!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37476956.post-39769060638196889172011-06-25T00:01:14.506+01:002011-06-25T00:01:14.506+01:00I have gone for Gloworm - a brand of Vaillant who ...I have gone for Gloworm - a brand of Vaillant who are regarded as top notch - so far so good......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37476956.post-91968900187709535612011-06-24T17:41:36.084+01:002011-06-24T17:41:36.084+01:00Thanks for the suggestions guys.
