hi glowbug any links to the boiler your rating. is it combi? Yes aj its the same unit sold and you set it up for combi or heat only etc, when i fit one ,will let you know verdict, but they offering 10 year warranties now, so must be a solid workhorse, dutch company methinks,if you fit one soon put a review up👍 |

I thought ‘FFS so much for their quality control’!!! And they’re as heavy as fuck too & you need a stand off bracket or there’s a flue joint in the wall. The stand off bracket is very flimsy for the big fuck off boiler! Never the less, it’s a good versatile range of boilers, but hey let’s not kid ourselves - no boiler is perfect!! The new Ferolli has only 4 moving parts too, fit one of them if you want to punish a customer........  |

Interesting feedback, dont like the thought of it being heavy dp, will check its weight out, ive spoke to 4 engineers who are now disciples of this boiler, one fits 20 a month and has jacked in installing vaillants for them, last 2 years not ine recall on the boiler, the heat exchanger has never had a mechanical failure in 20 years which magazine state, and ive seen £1200 vaillants main heat exchanger fail after 3 months, the jury is still out for me👀👀

Suprised there's no fiber washers to replace on the gas valve after removal and refit or am I missing something here? |

I lurk on one or two other forums, and many on these also swear by the Intergas and won't fit anything else. Has been like this for a few years, and still no complaints so far about them. Sounds like a really solid and well thought out piece of engineering. The Rapid model comes set as a combi. It's a simple matter of changing the boiler's settings, and instead of being a combi, you can change it to run as a system boiler, heat only or even multipoint. This is unique as far as I know.
My own boiler is a 14 year old Vaillant Turbomax Plus, which is in really good shape. I believe it to be the best boiler Vaillant have ever made, and possibly one of the best of any combis from that era. Although I hope to get at least 20 years out of it, I know that one day it will be beyond economical repair. When that day comes, unless something amazing has cone onto the market, a new Intergas will be going in. Certainly won't be anything from the current Vaillant lineup.
Prices look very competitive. Intergas Rapids seem to be less than £700. Something like an Ideal Vogue is over £1000. Sounds like a bargain as I'm thinking that the Ideal won't be engineered anything like as well as the Inter. |
