Vaillant ecoTec pro 28

Hi just hoping for some reviews on this boiler ours packed up at the weekend and is far to old to fix so we are looking for a new one.
Our quote includes

Supply and fit Vaillant ecoTec pro 28 with vertical flue
Supply and fit Trv’s to the existing radiators
Supply and fit programmable room thermostat
Chemical flush
Chemical inhibitor added to the system
magnaclean filter

we are moving the boiler to the airing cupboard as our kitchen is rather cramped is there anything else we need?
And how does the condesate drain in the cupboard? it has been suggested a collecting pot is there any ideas?

Thanks for your help :hello:

  • I got EXACTLY the same (same boiler, magnaclean, wireless therm, TRVs, chemical flush, moved to airing cupboard etc) fitted in my late father's house for less than £2000 (IIRC it came in at £1750). I simply put his post code into the Gas Safe Register and was astonished as to how many self employed plumbers lived within a mile from him. Rang a few round, got some quotes, played them off each otehr and voila. Turns out the plumber we got does contract work for a Big 6 company and told us an exact same job with them would be approaching 5 grand!

    PS Only been in a few months but touch wood everything seems fine so far.
  • thanks we got that price too I thought it was really good. Is the boiler ok any problems etc?
