Which boiler is best Alpha, Veissman or Remeha?

in In my home (includes DIY) MoneySaving
I have just purchased a house which needs central heating putting in. I have had quotes off 6 different plumbers and managed to cut there quotes down so we are considering three of them but they all suggest different boilers.

They are all quoting a similar price and have all either been recommended to me or i know them so i know they are all trustworthy and competent. The only thing that seperates them are the boilers they suggest.

Can anyone tell me which is the best one out of Alpha, Veissman or Remeha?

Thank you in advance

    Wouldn't go with the Alpha.

    My personal preference out of the other two would be the Remeha.

    Make sure you get a FULL 5 year warranty with it though.

    Viessmann as first choice, Remeha as budget option...but a boiler is only as good as it's installation and annual servicing. More here.

    Warranty is king with these built to fail devices.

    I agree, definitely a Worcester Bosch 1st choice - Valliant second - the price difference should not be more than a couple hundred pounds as the fitting cost will be the same.

    Correction - looking at the cost of the Veissman the WB might even be a fraction cheaper - it certainly shouldn't cost much more.

    We got Viessman - very happy with it.
