The brands we offer are:

Let’s explore these boiler companies in more detail…
Worcester Bosch Boilers
Perhaps the most widely recognized British boiler brand is none other than Worcester Bosch. There are plenty of reasons why we consider them to be among the very best boiler brands on the UK market right now.
We love Worcester Bosch for its fantastic boiler guarantees which go up to twelve years for many of their best-selling models! We also praise their top-dog customer service and aftercare.
In addition, their replacement parts aren’t usually hard to find. Worcester Boch also has recognition from The Queen and an incredible 4.8-star rating on Trust Pilot.
Viessmann Boilers
Next up, we have the German giant Viessman, who we’ve ranked as the best boiler on the market to purchase from in 2022. Viessmann is pretty new to the UK, but they’ve established a great reputation in the continental market over several decades and are already proving popular in our domestic market.
We love Viessmann boilers for being modern and high performing along with being well-engineered. In addition, Viessmann secured a Which? Best Buy Award recently and has a strong 4.4-stars out of five rating on Trust Pilot.
Alpha Boilers
A strong alternative for those on a budget is Alpha. Despite being more affordable than many of the best brands on the market, their boilers can still be described as premium. In fact, we still consider Alpha to be the second-best brand to buy from in 2022.
Alpha boilers offer technically brilliant designs, and the brand as a whole has a solid 4.6-star rating on Trust Pilot.

Do I Need a New Boiler?
Determining when the time is right to replace your existing boiler will primarily depend on what condition it’s in, how old it is and whether its efficiency levels have dropped significantly. Replacing a boiler at the right time can save you money overall.
How a new boiler can save you money:
- Reducing your running expenses.
- New warranty to cover repairs and replacement parts for years to come.
- Less money was spent on repairs/replacement parts, at least initially.
An older boiler can be less efficient leading to higher running costs. An old inefficient boiler may simply be beyond economical repair (BER).
Whether it is because a boiler is BER or it’s likely just best to replace, there are situations when having a new boiler installed is a smart idea.
When you should replace your boiler:
- Your current boiler is totally busted.
- Your boiler is at least a decade old.
- It’s regularly breaking down.
- Your guarantee is now expired meaning you have to pay for repairs/replacement parts.
- Components like your heat exchanger or/and PCB need to be repaired/replaced*
*Such components are expensive to repair/replace so if this is needed your boiler is probably beyond economic repair.
What else should you know?...
Most boilers last for around 10-15 years before they need to be replaced but either way, as the years progress, they become less energy efficient.
A boiler that is ten-plus years old would have an energy efficiency level of close to 70% (G-rated). On the other hand, modern A-rated boilers have efficiency ratings of 90% or more. Ultimately, an A-rated boiler would be somewhere around 25% less costly to run than a G-rated boiler.
