After lots and lots of re-search , i went for a Worcester-Bosch 30CDi ,the Cdi range is worcester high end kit !!

Not only for the make , but for after care customer service also !!!!

The CDI is a great boiler, I am fitting a 42CDI today.

When I wanted a boiler installed earlier this year, i got what was recommended by the installer and what he knew well. I paid him day rate for one day to fit and commision the boiler including cert.

I wasn't really impressed with them, the support wasn't good.
They had a lot of problems with boilers etc etc.
I like Worcester , valliant and baxi my self.

Fresh install of CH system which I did. He just hung the boiler and connected it all up.

Still needs flushing. Need to put F3 in for at least a couple of hours and then flush out.

TBH.. it was installed 6 months ago and I still havent finished the CH system. All the first fix is in, just two more rads to hang. I'll do some serious reading around it before I fill the system.

I had an old 35 year old back boiler previously ,

But I did not want to use anything from the old system for the new , including the rads or pipe work,

None of this power flushing etc,

I wanted a complete new install !!

It was more expensive yes, but i wanted to give my Worcester 30cdi the best start out in life possible

Although i got £300 back on the scrap copper pipe , and HW tank that was removed , which was a big brucy bonus

When you say they HAD, are they better at present ? the plumber i know, well actually he is a heating engineer, said his dad who has also been an engineer for around 40 years had a bosh and got fed up with changing failing parts on it. He then ripped it out after only 3 years and also fitted a viessmann same as my mate, Hasn't had to touch it for 3 years so far.

I think it doesn't really matter which make you have, you can get a cheap one like my mums ferroli which is still going after 15 years or pay a lot like my mates dad bosh and have it start breaking down within a year. Then there are others that are going strong, luck of the draw most times.
