    Bear in mind those old adages "you get what you pay for" & "buy cheap, buy twice".

    Also, controls are important for maximising running efficiency & when you are changing boilers is the most cost-effective time to do so (they should at least pay for themselves over the average boiler life). If you are in England then you will have to meet Boiler Plus standards anyway but ideally you will go a bit further & have both load & weather compensation.
  • Rather than get a list of boilers that people happen to like/dislike, it might be worth getting a bit of independent advice. I haven't used these guys but  I have used one of their approved installers and he was very good.
