Best Oil fired Boilers?

erb

As we have no gas _pale_ I am curently getting quotes for full central heating with an oil fired boiler, condensing type and probably combi. Three types of boiler appear to be popular with the plumbers quoting - Worcester Bosch, Grant Vortex, and Warmflow.

I see from previous posts that Worcester Bosch is recommended but one plumber said the Grant Vortex is even better:j . It certainly has a high efficiency of 92.25 to 94.2% depending on model but I can't find anything on reliability.

Any recommendations or warnings from moneysavers on any of these boilers would be much appreciated;) .

Hi,

I have two friends that are both plumbers/gas fitters and they swear by the bosch worcester boilers. I have a friend in the isle of man with a bosch worcester and he swears by that also!

Good luck

First of all i can recommend the worcester and the grant boiler. Another good one is the boulter.
We are agents for both worcester and grant. Our worcester boilers come with a 3 year warranty if installed by their appointed agents but usually 2 yr as standard
Remember all the test figures are very close to each other and are done within a lab testing environment. To maintain efficiency they must be checked regularly and serviced.
