Sime Boiler installation

louise_1981

Hi, getting quotes and this seems the best to me. But would like some opinions

Removal of old system
supply and fit new condenser
to supply and fit two small radiators in front (small) bedroom and kitchen

This is a quote for a Sime 30 HE.

Total cost £1500

Could anyone tell me about the reliability of this boiler, how easy is it to get parts and is is expensive to get fixed when things start to go wrong.

the next quote is £300 more but it is a worster/bosch, which I have heard of and had good reports, except from FIL how has one installed 18mths ago and it is broke already!

thanks in advance

wouldn't touch sime or ferolli with your barge pole.

Worked on a contract to wire heating in housing association in Glasgow.
They used Worcester or Vokera boilers - week in week out without problems.

The HA changed to sime and the following week 8 out of 10 boilers developed a fault.

The following week thay changed back. No problems.

Hope this helps.


ps I would suggest (in my order of preference)
Worcester, Vokera, Valiant, Ariston, Baxi.

Thanks for that, decided to go with the slightly more expensive quote and go with the worcester. getting it fitted next monday, he said he should be finished the next day, which I am really pleased about. Should be living in our house from easter. yipee!!!!!!!
