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

New systems still need flushing

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.

It's all about the installation, you can fit a bad boiler well and it will last longer than fitting a good boiler bad.

Hi..my OH has been fitting Viessmann products for 4+ years and he has never had problems with Viessmann technical support, spares or customer service. If Viessmann has been recommended by a source you trust as opposed to the anonymous on an internet forum then all the better.;)

Btw...you have been given a very competitive price for your install (mentioned on your other thread). Opt for a Magnabooster 2 filter as well.

In the end, a boiler is only as good as the standard of the installation and annual servicing.

No still here. Letting system warm up again.
The CDI is a very good boiler.

Do viessmann send there own highly trained engineers out to repair boilers ? Or do they just use the installer.

In which context...under warranty? Didn't they cover this with you when you did your Viessmann training?
