Why accreditation changes the price you should compare

A cheaper headline boiler fitted by a non-accredited installer often carries a shorter warranty. The number that matters is the total cost over the warranty period, not the day-one price. Accreditation for both Worcester Bosch and Vaillant is what lets us offer up to 10 years parts and labour. When you are deciding between a combi and a system unit, our combi boilers explained page covers the sizing honestly.

Questions

Things people ask. The honest answers.

Worcester Bosch or Vaillant, which is better?

Both are excellent and we are accredited for both. Worcester Bosch is usually a little cheaper and heats up fast with an aluminium heat exchanger; Vaillant runs quieter with a stainless steel exchanger. We recommend by your home, not by margin.

Why does being an accredited installer matter?

Accreditation is what unlocks the up to 10 year manufacturer warranty. An install by a non-accredited fitter often gets a shorter warranty, so the headline boiler price is not the whole story. Always check the warranty, not just the price.

Which boiler brand is most reliable?

Worcester Bosch and Vaillant both score highly for reliability in independent reviews. We fit both and stand behind the install regardless of brand, so reliability comes from the fit as much as the badge on the front.

Do you fit other boiler brands?

We install Worcester Bosch and Vaillant as our accredited brands. We repair and service most makes, but for new installs we stay with the two brands whose warranties we can fully back for you.
