Which Combi Boiler Brands are the Best in the UK?

1. Viessmann

Why?

Viessmann have been world leaders in the commercial boiler space for a long time, and their foray into the domestic boiler market has been fairly recent compared to its competitors.  But the expertise they’ve built up over years has shone through in their impressive lineup of condensing boilers.  Which has earned them the “UK Best Buy” award from one of the biggest consumer research magazines in the UK for the second year running in 2018.  Below are a couple of reasons why they stand above the competition:

Patented Inox-Radial Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger

Manufactured in-house at their massive factory in Germany which makes both residential and commercial boilers, this is one impressive piece of kit.  Because it’s made out of the highest grade of steel, it’s more durable, reliable, resistant to corrosion and be efficient longer than all its rivals.  Which combi boiler in the UK has this component?  All boilers in the entire Viessmann range.  This is why Viessmann are comfortable giving 10-year warranties on their heat exchanger throughout their boiler range.  All of their main rivals, including Worcester Bosch, use an aluminium heat exchanger in their boilers, which may start off okay, but will lose efficiency over years due to corrosion due to daily thermal stresses, as shown in this graph:

Combined PRV (Pressure Release Valve) and Condensate Connection

Installation is faster, simpler and more cost-effective, and long runs of additional piping are no longer required.

In-Built Shock Arresters

Composite Hydroblock incorporates a shock arrester, so no extra expansion vessel is required.  Also reduces the chance of a water hammer problem.

Extended 10 Year Warranties

7-10 Year Warranties on Parts & Labour, and 10 Year Warranties on Inox-Radial Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger throughout their boiler range.  Extended warranties are available if installed by Viessmann Trained Installers or Premium Partners like Boilerhut.  You can get a free, no-obligation online quote below and decide which combi boiler you would like to buy:

2. Worcester Bosch

Why?

Worcester was founded in 1962 and got acquired by the German Bosch Group in 1996.  They are the UK market leader in domestic boilers.

High Quality – High-Efficiency Boilers

People in the UK know Worcester Bosch as a reliable brand, and their boilers are well known for their heating and hot water efficiency.  Their Greenstar gas and oil boilers have been awarded a Best Buy (along with Viessmann and Vaillant) award by one of the biggest consumer research bodies in the UK.  They are also known for excellent customer service and reassuring guarantees.

3. Vaillant

Why?

Vaillant has been active in the heating market for 140 years and are known for making high-efficiency innovative boilers.  Their impressive range of boilers covers heating and hot water needs for most properties in the UK.  They also have storage combi boilers, which Worcester Bosch don’t.

Notable Mentions

While we won’t necessarily call these two brands top of the line, but if you’re looking to save a bit of money while still getting a decent boiler, their boilers will get the job done.  Having said that, the price difference between them and the top of the line boilers isn’t huge.  We haven’t included the worst boilers in the UK in this article.
