    We are in thinking of replacing an existing firebird Environmax popular 26 KW with a gas boiler .

    Can some experts in the forum give me an idea in whats a better boiler of the two system boiler viessmann / worcester s ?

    We have 11 rad's and are looking for the same performance as we are having with the firebird or better when switching to gas .

    I also see that the viessmann in more expensive than the others and I wonder is it is because of the additional warranty or is that its just a better build than the two .

    Between the 2, I’d pick Worcester Bosch. A pig to work on but a good boiler.

    Naw close the valves. Undo the nuts and pull the bottom of the boiler forward abit.

    If your there a hour you were probably chatting with the tea

    Viessmann is not that popular in this country, although is very good option,my sister has one, bought it 15 years ago, never had any issues with it.
    On the other hand I have Worcester 24I, only three years old, yesterday died :(, no response at all. If was a coffee machine i would have repaired it, but I do not have knowledge of boilers.

    If its 3 years old it's under warranty.
