Anyhow I digress.
First house we were there nearly 5 years. No issues whatsoever.
Second house been there just over 3 years. No issues whatsoever.


Had one of these fitted in both. Vaillant ecoTEC Plus 835 Combi Boiler.
Another Vaillant owner here, had ours for nearly 17 years now. Early on we had problems, but after the ignition board was changed, touch wood it's been trouble free.

My only gripe is that it only supplies enough hot water for one shower, if some turns a tap on or flushes a look, then the shower goes cold. Not a big problem, just irritating.

My mum also had one, so plumbers must think they are ok?

I did prefer the system I had in my previous house, which was a normal boiler and a mini tank, which held enough hot water to fill a bath. If I have a new boiler fitted, I might go back to having a mini tank and have it heated by a boiler or solar panels.
