What a terrible thing to say about such a decent boiler! It's an IDEAL. Classic is it's name , if not in it's nature.
Hello, it's Botmission here again from gas engineer world. Did I tell you I used to work for British Gas? Well now I work indirectly for Hounslow council in West London, and they have thousands of these boilers so they can't be too bad can they?
It' a conventional boiler. Neither a combi or a condensor. Nicely quiet and compact, can fit in your average kitchen cupboard, and a pleasing shiny white colour. The bottom cover is plastic and breaks without too much effort, as do most of the new compact boilers on the market. It's 'fanned room sealed' of course and has a variety of flue variations and so can fit most places. It's Ideal for the average three bed semi, but the larger versions have more capacity.
It's easily repairable, with all parts being available at all good gas spares shops.
Advantages: Advantages? I can't think of any! I suppose they work ok when they're new Disadvantages: It's a condensing boiler,there is not a good condensing boiler boiler on the market and because of the way they work,there won't be one
...This boiler design was bought by Potterton from Germany I'm led to believe and it's the worst thing the Germans have done to us since beating us on penalties! Whoever designed this had no thought for the engineers who would work on them or the poor consumer who got to know their service engineer very well. This is a terrible design,is always leaking and frequently failing.Condensing boilers will not last as long as a conventional non-condensing boiler. My favourite is the IdealClassic fanned flue boiler. this is the most reliable boiler on the market and I anticipate it lasting us at least 30 years. When you think condensing boilers are meant to be good for the enviroment,they may give off less harmfull emisions but after 10-15 years you will have to replace it therefore you have a scrap boiler to dispose of and you have to use energy...
