Does anybody have a Rayburn 480CD gas heatranger cooker/central heating boiler?

Question

Because I do and I've had nothing but grief from it, Aga/Rayburn and the installers. This thing cost £9000 to supply and fit and then it was fitted by monkeys; name and shame I say, Hoad & Taylor, Surrey. They had to come back and make corrections but I ended up doing the plumbing myself as they clearly couldn't!

Corgi and a separate installer condemned it as dangerously leaking fumes into the room.

I t condenses water from the exhaust on the cold parts of the cooker during warm up and Rayburn just sit on their thumbs, 3 months later there it sits quietly rusting away in the kitchen.

Has anybody else had any experiences with the 480CD unit? I ask because I am looking to see if this is an isolated case before I haul their ****'s through the courts. Thanks.

Answer 1

My dad has a Rayburn Supreme oil fired unit and its complete garbage.  In my opinion its a lash-up made of bits and pieces. I've built development prototypes that are far better made than this abortion.  Its a real problem getting anyone to service the b... thing.  

Answer 2

Consulting the boiler manufacturer would be a good place to start and find out if they have had any similar cases report to them, if not then as the above user said consulting trading standards would be wise if the installers are not " playing ball " You are perfectly within your rights to take legal action as the boiler posed serious danger to health/life.

Did you check that the installing heating engineer was registered as a CORGI member ? Anyone carrying out gas work who isnt registered is seriously breaking the law.

Go to trading standards and see what they can do first.
