Worcester Bosch or Vailant Condensing Boiler

We have had two quotations for installation of boilers, the Vailant came out at £350 more than the Vailant.

In terms of quality, can anyone advice which is better and have the better after service.

Thanks

    Hard one this!

    Vaillant is better quality, but has one of the worst aftersales service at present.

    Whereas worcester quality is less but has one of the best aftersales service.

    But then one has to ask, how would you know it has the best aftersales service?

    Ignoring pricing i'd say Vaillant for their stainless steel heat exchangers. No idea about aftersales as not had reason to involve them with our vaillant! Are the quotes like for like though for the rest of the boiler change? And what are the guarantees (for approved installers you should get a longer warranty). I'd get another quote or two before you make up your mind.

    I agree shop around and see what deals are on offer. I know that approved Worcester Bosch (see website) installers sometimes offer free extended annual servicing.

    My current Worcester combi (not one of these new types) has been going strong for over 10 years ... yes it has broken down a few times .. but I always had a servicing contract in place for free parts and labour, £16 a month.
