Combi Boiler & two new radiators

borich

I am looking at getting a new combi boiler (bosch combi) with smartwave installed to replace my old boiler. I'm lookng to have the boiler in the loft. What quote should I be looking at. The first plumber is coming out Wednesday to quote the works.

Having a boiler in the loft will require a fair amount of additional work. Whats the set up at the moment?

The boiler is on the wall of the master bedroom and its loud. We only moved in recently and before we purchased the property we already decided it has to go!

Boilers in lofts are a pain in the ar*e unless access is good. Bear in mind that if access is difficult Worcester Bosch may not attend to warranty for the operatives safety reasons. Ditto I know a few engineers who will not attend. Re-pressurising the boiler also become a pain.

Having said all that, sometimes its the only place for it. If its a Worcester Bosch on no account have a Junior 24 or 28i. They are not very well made or designed...or reliable. The Greenstar CDi is perfectly good and the Compact is OK. Both are over complicated in places. There is better value for money in my opinion, but nothing wrong with them
