Intergas...but which...

That is why I employed a HETAS registered installer and consulted the insurance underwriters about what they required in the installation.
And many Hetas installers are as clueless as you but they do have insurance.. Insurance underwriters ask me what I think.

I have noticed that you seem to be suggesting that the OP have a look at a pretty crummy boiler
On what do base this article of faith? I have actually seen the Ferrolli Modena in action. Very quiet indeed and that impressed me. Quiet appliances tend to be quality appliances. Having only 4 moving parts also impressed me, as does the Intergas with only 4 moving parts. But the Ferrolli does have advantages over the Intergas, with a higher flowrate being one of them. The choice is a valued decision by anyone reading this thread and seeing the pros and cons. A view like, "it is crap" without any justification of that view does not stand. I would go for the Intergas, but I would not complain at fitting a Ferrolli in my place.

It is strange that many are shouting the virtues of Vokera boilers on this thread when this makers is not too dissimilar to Ferrolli in product quality. Dan writes that Vokera and Viessman are about the same quality. Some have wrote that the boiler does not matter only the installation.

As I said, fit one and be happy.. How do you measure quality?

I am not in the market for fitting a boiler in my place.
Having seen a Modena in action and the case off, which I am sure you have not, it is of the same quality as a Vaillant, which tends to be the benchmark of quality. Look at the video on this thread. The few third party components in the unit are quality brands. Honeywell pcb and gas valve and a Wilo pump. The heat exchanger is stainless steel. What I am saying is that the Ferrolli as a `product`, is a worthy competitor to the Intergas. It is not "crap". The service backup is another matter. And, reading comments about the Intergas service it can't be too dissimilar to Ferrolli. They got too big too quickly in the UK.

Oh My!....:ROFLMAO:
 
First time I've heard a Wilo pump described as quality.

It is the same pump that went t*ts up in my "quality" Vaillant less than 6 months from new.

I have known Grundfos pumps to go tits up after a month or two as well. Wilo is not a no-name make. Most combis have them in and they last and last. They are as good as Grundfos...as long as the system stays clean. A filter on the return helps here.

A good point about the Ferroli is that it takes a standard cheap Wilo pump head available from anywhere. No specialist exorbitant exchange pump that some makers have.

Aw, Razor, now you've burst my bubble! :D

Come to think about it, I think you're due to give it the once over shortly - will Intergas send out an auto-reminder?
 
Can't be yet mate, I've done it twice and I won't have been around for two years until August (y)

Although I may have some top secret pics for you ;)
