As you have not provided us with any further details it is impossible for us to fully respond to you although we can speak in general terms about ‘Internet Quotes’.

Your npower quote is an accurate bespoke quote prepared following the Home Energy Consultant visit and their conducting a full home survey of your property. It is based on the correct boiler for your needs, supplied and fully installed by npower engineers, taking into account any specific installation requirements identified during the visit.

The quotation also includes full care for the Boiler over the next 12 months and your guarantee is backed by npower.

We are fully aware that it is very easy to go online and get an automated response from other boiler supply advising of a lower price. As we do not have any further information from you we are unable to review whether that quote was was based upon an accurate assessment of the real installation costs relating to your property. Not can we assess the value of any guarantee or promised installation standards. We also do not know the quality of the heating installers if installation was also included in your quote.

Ultimately you have to take a view of the value for money offered in both quotes. If cheapest price is your overriding concern then you will probably select the lowest price you can find online. If the installation quality and subsequent support are important then we hope you will also evaluate the npower quote.

I have just had a quote from npower for a new Vaillant boiler. Why is their price so competitive?

You posed your question on the Greenstar 24i on the information page for the Greenstar 24Ri so we will answer for both boilers.

The 24Ri is a regular boiler capable of operating on both open vent and sealed systems.

The 24i is a system boiler and supplied by the manufacturer with all the components to form a sealed primary system.

The differences between all the boiler types are described in detail on this site.

For system boilers please see http://www.boiler-systems.co.uk/system-boilers/

For regular boilers read http://www.boiler-systems.co.uk/regular-boilers/

Also please note that we tried to email a response to you but the email address you supplied was invalid.

npower installed domestic boilers go up to 40 kw so its just the physical size that will determine your boiler selection. The Glow worm 30 hxi has a height of 600mm, depth 334mm and width 375mm. This is probably the most suitable for your needs.

I have thirteen rads in my warehouse, adding them up comes to just under 30kw. I need a heating only boiler with a intergal pressure vassel. Also I have 800mm of external wall,this is the only place it can be fitted .So the boiler needs to be about 600mm in height. Any suggestions on what boiler i should use?.

The comparison needs to take into account the details established at the installation survey conducted by the heating advisor – we are assuming that you are referring to a quotation developed by a npower Home Energy Consultant following their free no obligation visit to your home.

As we need more details than can be included within an email we suggest you telephone the consultant that visited and ask them to explain why they have recommended these three boilers and the relative merits of each in relation to your needs.

The glow-worm 330 he can be fitted to an unvented hot water system but, as some companies do not install megaflo cylinders, we suggest you contact megaflo direct to see if the megaflo cl210 is more beneficial to your existing system.

Baxi’s general enquiry line is 08706 060780 and the technical helpline is 08706 049049

Can the glow-worm 330HE be used with an unvented cylinder (say the megaflo HE systemfit cylinder) to deliver pressure hot water? Also I currently have an s-type system would I be better with a Megaflo CL210 instead of the systemfit?
