Review for Glow-worm Energy Combi Boiler by PmR
31st December 2022

Just had brand new glow worm combi put in. Its appalling the shower pressure is half what i had and if the washing machine is on or someone washes their hands elsewhere the shower slows to a dribble! Honestly if it cant cope with normal usage its not fit for purpose.

Im going to have the whole thing ripped out. Its caused soooo many arguments. Cant run a dishwasher or washing machine at the same time! Kids cant have showers at same time now makes going out as a family 3 times longer as each obe has to wait for a shower to be free!!!! Unbelivable something like this can be sold in such modern times. Despite my contacting customer service no one bothered to reply.

The Glowworm Energy Combi Boiler range is a fantastic medium budget boiler which comes with great warranty.
Its easy to install and commission and the rear exit flue can be a real game changer.
Highly recommend this boiler for landlords and homeowners.

This boiler is the best valve for money in the price range and not only that you also get 5star service from the glow worm company too. So easy to fit and operate

Must admit I really do like the size and flexibility of these boilers. Being able to flue through the back is a big advantage in so many situations where room is at a premium. The quality seems very good, although more plastic in them, but that is the same way all boilers are or going. Fitted a few now and not had any issues to date. Will continue to fit these where I can.

My recommended boiler for customers who are looking for a good boiler for a reasonable price. This boiler is easy to install and it nice and compact. You receive a good length warranty and it is a boiler I would highly recommend.

Great boiler for the price. It's basically a vaillant ecofit pure in a glowworm cover. Slightly less intuitive on the menu but that's because it's cheaper than the vaillant but internally exactly the same boiler. Put a few of these without any issues.

Fantastic cheap Combi boiler - It’s basically not a glow worm inside - but the same as a boiler double the cost. Don’t need to say the name that starts with a V

I’ve fitted lots of these boilers and overall they are fairly decent for a mid range boiler.The integral filling loop is a bit fiddly and tight on space.It is best to fit boiler connections to boiler before fitting boiler on wall.The commissioning is easy once you know the sequence.Fit using the climpro rf2 it is Boiler plus compliant and easy to fit and use

Asked on 24th September 2020 by BD Plumbing & Heating

I’ve got a customer looking for a cheaper boiler. I’ve never used GlowWorm before - would anybody recommend them or is there a better, cheaper brand of boiler?

Answered on 24th September 2020 by Penfould Heating & Renewables Ltd

Main Eco Compact, cheapest you'll get whilst still maintaining quality and peace of mind

Answered on 24th September 2020 by Wheelers (westbury) Ltd

Personally I’d steer clear of Glowworm. If you want a good combi boiler at a budget price I’d try the Worcester 2000. I’ve fitted lots and they are a quality bit of kit for the price.
Hope this helps

Answered on 24th September 2020 by BD Plumbing & Heating

Legends. Cheers both!

Answered on 24th September 2020 by AMC Heating Services

The Energy boiler is a good boiler but you must make sure the system is cleaned really well as the pressure sensor gets blocked easily, due to its location.

Answered on 24th September 2020 by All Home Improvements

Never had a problem with GloWorm.
Clean the system and the kit is good value and reliable.

Answered on 26th September 2020 by Uplands Plumbing & Heating

I’d look at the Main Eco boiler mate. They do them in 2 sizes (25 & 30kw) if memory serves me right. Basically a Baxi 600 with a Main badge and different front cover.
5 yr Warranty out the box and nice simple install.

Answered on 28th September 2020 by M-tec Maintenance

Noooooo.

Answered on 28th September 2020 by Roy Millar Plumbing and Heating

As said above would defo go for the main eco combi such a good boiler and cheap

Answered on 1st October 2020 by QM Heating Ltd

Glow worm Boiler more better than Main boiler. Glow worm Boiler owners by Vaillaint. You can have 3 5 7 10 years warranty. They using same parts as Vaillaint almost.

Answered on 1st October 2020 by The Boiler Guys

Glowworm are confident enough to offer a ten year warranty should say something, only done a few but with no problems at all. I don't fit really cheap boilers to be honest, I don't need to risk the calls from unhappy folk.
