Have had four local fitters come round. Three have recommender a Worcester Bosch, one (the one I've used for servicing for last 8 yrs) has recommended an ATAG (said they used to recommend WB but had some yap about why they changed, 'taken for granted' or some such I didn't quite catch, but says ATAG quality is much better), one of the first three suggested a Baxi if I wanted something a bit cheaper than the WB.
If you look online you'll find enough info and good/bad/indifferent reviews to back up pretty much any decision about most boilers, I have no idea whether the WB is really good or just heavily marketed with perks for fitters so they like to fit them; the ATAG sounds great and looking in detail at Trustpilot ratings it's almost too good (98% are 4 or 5 stars!) but I have no idea about the reliability of trustpilot anyway, I rarely take too much notice of review sites but all the same.... Pretty much all of the rest of the manufacturers have considerably more 1 and 2 star reviews, too good to be true?
WB boilers full of plastic say the some technicians(or sales people) on some websites, ATAG brass and stainless.... Sounds convincing, but everything has plastic in it these days...
Both come with 10 year warranty/guaranteee or more, but how good is it?
Fitter 4 claims ATAG UK HQ just up the road so parts not an issue, but then they still have to get the parts from the Netherlands presumably, and it's not clear if the parts are even kept there; might just be an office with some phones for all I know!
Maybe the price will decide it for me, I expect to get the quotes next week
Honestly I have no idea, I've seen a few threads on here discussing merits or otherwise of different makes but some are quite old and new boilers come out regularly and one hopes improve on previous models so things may not stay the same.
Has anyone any experience of ATAG and getting them fixed? (or do they never need it
