What combo boilers do people recommend?
We have a Worcester Bosch that’s temperamental after only eight years. Serviced every year.
Now looking at Viesmann, or Baxi Any thoughts?

ours is an ATAG. Recommended by our longterm service engineer who has one himself.

We currently have a Worcester Bosch boiler, which is serviced annually, with no issues.

Previously we owned a Baxi, which was rarely serviced but ran perfectly for many years, with no issues until replaced.

Yes the chap I was in touch with said visemann aren’t that good, he recommended Baxi.
Viesmann said Baxi after care isn’t that good.
All said don’t bother with WB.
Also WB own Which.
I really don’t know who to believe.
I just want a reliable boiler with substantial parts, easy to get hold of, which will see us out 😅

Actually Viesmann didn’t say that, it was the boiler guy that fits Virsmann said not to go with Baxi.
TBF they are all going to plug their own boilers & put other companies brands down.
It’s a minefield 😩

My father had a WB and it was forever breaking down! I have Glow worm and never had any bother. Gets serviced annually.
