Under the optimal ratio of price and quality, most buyers understand the product of proper performance with a long service life at an affordable cost. That is why when choosing a company, it is necessary to pay attention to the company's production capacity. The fact is that now many manufacturers of gas boilers unite into concerns and offer consumers identical models under different brands.
Some companies have nothing but the name itself. Such companies are not engaged in production - they order a ready-made solution, change the design and produce products under their own brand, investing exclusively in marketing. As a result, the company offers equipment, the cost of which is much higher compared to similar models.
When creating a selection, we had to abandon some really worthy manufacturers due to underdeveloped networks of service centers.This is the most important factor that often escapes the attention of users and leads to serious trouble. After all, the vast majority of breakdowns occur during operation. If there is a specialized service organization nearby, almost any heating problem can be solved within a few hours.
Otherwise, the owner of the gas boiler will first have to wait for the arrival of specialists, and then for the delivery of spare parts. It is easy to imagine how long this wait will be if the temperature on the street has dropped to -20 ºС - we are sure that no one wants to become a direct participant in such a story.
Also, one should not forget that in the absence of a service center, problems can begin already at the stage of commissioning and placing the boiler under warranty. In the best case, the owner of a rare model will have to pay a round sum for calling specialists, and in the worst case, to start the boiler by third-party specialists with automatic cancellation of warranty obligations by the manufacturer.

- Price range: from 17500 to 311500 rubles.

After merging with the Vaillant Group, part of the production was transferred to the DEMIR DÖKÜM plant located in Turkey. According to some experts, this decision had a negative impact on the quality of the finished product, but most owners of household single-circuit and double-circuit gas boilers do not agree with such statements. The main disadvantage of users consider the large dimensions of floor models.
