We had a new Worcester Bosch greenstar something or other installed in the house I’ve just sold when we moved in in 2010. It replaced an old Potterton Nettaheat. I can’t actually remember why it was replaced...I assume an expensive repair quote... Anyway, the Worcester Bosch was serviced annually as recommend, at a cost of £100 or so a year. Despite that it still started playing up from around year 9, and when I was quoted £800 to fix it last spring I just replaced it with a Viesmann of some kind, which came with a 10 year warranty. That of course requires annual servicing to maintain. Bit disappointed to have to spend £2,500 just before selling the house, but I wouldn’t rush to have another Worcester Bosch I have to say. I’m also not convinced that the ~£1k I spent on servicing over the years was money well spent. Maybe I should have just spend the £800 fixing the old one, but I had no confidence that’d actually fix the issue and at some point you have to stop throwing good money after bad!
