Worcester Combi 37 DCi - moderate product, poor service

Advantages: Works OK when working
Disadvantages: Frequent loss of pressure, Expensive installation

...3-bedroomed house. However, Worcester boilers often have pressure problems that lead to wild fluctuations in water temperature. These aren't mentioned in the installation notes or user instructions, which seems odd as it is clear from web searches that loss of pressure is a very common experience. Worcester even provide a little plastic key (not mentioned in their literature) with which water pressure can be adjusted - instructions at: http://www.howtomendit.com/answers.php?id=208690 ...

Review of Worcester Combi Boiler

I'm quite happy with my Worcester Highflow 400

Advantages: Readily fills the needs of a 4- bed, 2 baths detached property, Excellent flow rate.
Disadvantages: Efficiency issues

...been quite satisfied with the Worcester Highflow 400. It was installed 10 years ago and apart from 1 problem when the 'o' rings failed after about 3 years it has currently fulfilled all our household needs. Ocassionly it requires 'topping up' but it can be done in minutes and that, I understand, is the case with most, if not all, combi boilers. The property is a detached 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom Chalet bungalow with 8 rooms in total and a quite large, ...

Potterton Suprima 120L

Advantages: Absolutely None whatsoever
Disadvantages: Inefficient, unreliable, extremly costly to repair and potentially very dangerous!!!!! AVOID

...in autumn 2001 and a Potterton Suprima 120L installed. Since then the boiler has had two replacement circuit boards. The second failed last night. The red and green lights started flashing and a loud clicking noise was heard. Tried resetting with the reset button and then by switching the electricity supply to the boiler on and off. No joy. Later clicking noise was replaced by loud crackling noise. Boiler is wired up to a cicuit breaker but this ...

Take the heat out of looking for a plumber - Clwyd Heating

Advantages: Professional and highly qualified work force
Disadvantages: None

...installed by a firm called Clwyd Heating and I have to say I would recommend this company to anyone living in the North Wales/ Chester/Warrington areas.

They have since registered with OFTEC and are members of the Association of Plumbing and Heating Engineers and Construction Line. The company has built up a very good reputation in the North Wales area over the ...
...for these systems. I contacted Clwyd Heating to ask if they did Electrical Central Heating to be informed that they are agents in the area for Ariston Electrastream and their sales representative made and appointment to discuss the product with me. I was very impressed by the professionalism of the representative who measured each room, tested the water pressure and took time with me to explain the system to be installed and the actual installation. ...

Quotation from Northern Gas Heating

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Trouble getting deposits back

On 9th October 2009 a Salesman came from Northern Gas and quoted us a price for a new boiler, and as we had been without heat and water for two weeks waiting for quotes, and as we are both in our seventies, he said he would try to arrange installation the following week. On 12th October their Surveyor came to assess the work involved and said installation could not start until three weeks. He said the boiler quoted could not be installed as quoted ...

The salesman had quoted one thousand seven hundred and eighty-five pounds and took a deposit of three hundred and fifty-seven pounds.

After numerous telephone calls to Northern Gas we are stil trying to get our deposit ...
