Best Priced Condensor Boiler

[tosh100]

Am looking to buy an external condensor boiler - where can I get the best deal?

 

[seantheman]

What size? When you say best deal, do you mean cheapest or most efficient?

Long term, you are better off with the Grant Vortex. The Grant Euroflame is about €100 or so cheaper but the Vortex is worth the extra. More efficient & has a pre-wired frost thermostat which is very important for an external boiler.

If you have zones, make sure an auto bypass valve is installed for when the frost stat kicks in.

1,500 sq ft house.

Looking for the best cheapest option?

Thanks for replies so far.

 

[seantheman]

Is it for a new house or a replacement? If replacing What size boiler have you at the moment?

A replacement of a leaking indoor boiler.

Present boiler runs 11 radiators.

Still not much help the rads could be any size from 500wide to 2500wide,
Look at your present boiler and it should be marked 50/70 50/90 70/90 90/120 or something similar.We need to know what BTU output you need?

Going cheap would only save maybe 100 euros, a false economy. The Grant Vortex is the best and you should give it serious thought. You might have to live with this boiler for a long time!

I too would favour the Vortex.

Boiler efficiency ratings here http://www.boilers.org.uk/cgi-local/result1.cgi Grant are monopolising the top places but seem to have duplicates in that they have a boiler and then a boiler system which is really the same thing
