When you need a new boiler for your home, it’s important to know the performance of the boiler
and manufacturer to best suit your needs. Here is an honest review for 3 of the top gas boilers
ranked in the market today:
Worcester Bosch
Worcester Bosch offers a range of boilers and the model we’re focusing on is the ‘Greenstar i boiler’,
that has an excellent reputation with customers who find it works well to their needs. Customers
have found they are able to get a Worcester Bosch engineer to complete a warranty repair, with a
dedicated team of directly employed staff. Which? have rated Worcester Bosch the best boiler for
over 10 years running.
However, one thing to mention is the cost of a Worcester boiler being more expensive than the
other manufacturers, for a like for like product. Having said that, this shouldn’t matter, unless you’re
considering the lower cost to be of greater value than the rating of the product. From an engineer’s
perspective, one of the compromises to the reduced physical size, is that maintenance is increasingly
difficult when trying to access for servicing and replacing parts.
Vailant
Vailant’s most popular boiler is the ‘Ecofit Pure’ that has been rated well by customers for its after-
sales support and technical helpline. The stainless steel heat exchanger also proves to be reliable
long term, compared to other aluminium heat exchangers that are prone to corrosion. Stainless steel
internal parts (rather than plastic) will reduce the need for out of warranty repairs down the line.
Which? consistently feature Vailant in their best buy report almost every year and the entire Vailant
domestic boiler range is Quiet Mark accredited regarding the boilers low operating volumes.
It’s still important to mention the cost of Vailant boilers being more expensive compared to some
other manufacturers. As a product yielding higher value from customer and product reviews, this
again shouldn’t be a reason to not consider, unless the lower cost is of greater value. Overall,
Vaillant boilers are a reliable and energy-efficient option for homeowners, with a good
reputation for performance.
Baxi
Baxi have been around for over 150 years and have won awards for their customer service. The
boiler that is most popular is the 800 combi boiler that comes with a ten year manufacturer’s
warranty and magnetic filter supplied as standard. The 800 combi boiler also has a stainless steel
heat exchanger that is of higher quality for durability, and a dedicated team of engineers to
complete any warranty repairs, sometimes on the same day that it’s reported.
Which? have rated the Baxi 800 as being good value for money and, to have happy customers with
reliability being high for the boiler. From an engineer’s perspective, Baxi have been improving with
newer boilers, being easier to set up after installation and to work on during a boiler service. Over
three quarters of Baxi 800 combi boilers showed no faults during the first six years, similar to other
top boiler manufacturers.
