Found yourself in a situation where your boiler has conked out on you and you now have the daunting task of deciding on your next boiler? If Vokera has been a potential option of boiler brand to choose from, then you’re in the right place. This blog will help you choose the best Vokera boiler option for your home.
Before choosing your next new Vokera boiler, it is important to understand what boiler type you need and how a system, regular and combi boilers work.
We cover this in a separate blog, but here’s a quick breakdown for you:
Combi boilers
Combi boilers don’t have any tanks, they heat water from the mains water supply.
Combi boilers tend to be the best option for most UK homes as they don’t require storage tanks and offer heating and hot water on demand.
System boilers
System boilers have a hot water storage tank, usually in an airing cupboard.
System boilers are usually found in households with more than one bathroom in use at the same time (high hot water demand).
Regular boilers
Regular boilers have a hot water tank and a cold water storage tank (usually in the attic).
Regular boilers are useful for homes with low water pressure as they utilise a ‘gravity fed’ system but due to the tanks involved, most homes switch to a combi boiler when replacing a regular boiler.
It’s worth mentioning here that if you take the WarmZilla survey, we’ll automatically recommend the most suitable boilers for you by asking a few simple questions about your home. You don’t need to worry about what kW boiler you need as we’ll suggest the right boilers for your home.
Although, if you want to compare your current heating system to other boiler brands and models, you could use our Boiler Comparison tool. This tool allows you to compare up to three boilers models or brands at one time, to help you find the perfect new boiler for your home.

Vokera Reviews
Looking at Vokera’s Trustpilot reviews, it seems that their customers are satisfied with their Vokera boilers. Vokera has 1.2k reviews and has been rated excellent, with a star rating of 4.4 stars out of 5.
When taking a closer look at Vokera’s customer reviews, 91% of their reviews have been rated above average.
Here’s what a few of Vokera’s customers have had to say about their Vokera boiler on Trustpilot:
“2nd time I’ve used them Fantastic product and speedily delivered Highly recommended. Pay a bit more but worth it”.
“ Boiler was installed 6 weeks ago and so far is working well. Controls are easy to understand and all seems good”.
“Just what I needed. Instant hot water without having to link to radiators. Perfect temperature control. Marvellous for my shower”.
You can also find reviews from the installers there, such as;
“Excellent training webinar. I always enjoy these webinars. Very easy to understand the presenter and the information that he is giving. You can tell that he has an extensive knowledge and experience in the heating industry.”
On the flip side, when looking at the Which? Best Boiler Brand survey from 2021, the results seem to slightly contradict these Trustpilot reviews.
During the survey, 8,001 boiler owners were asked to rate their Vokera boiler based on reliability and how likely they were to recommend their Vokera boiler to friends and family.
In addition to this, 153 Which? Trusted Traders were also asked how they felt about the build quality, the ease of fixing and servicing Vokera boilers and how easy it is to get hold of Vokera boiler spares and parts.
Vokera were not bottom of the list of the 16 boiler brands reviewed, but they were most certainly not at the top of the list. After adding up the scores from both the customers and the Trusted Traders, Vokera sit comfortably at 9th place with an overall score of 56%.
Vokera has been rated 4 out of 5 stars for reliability, which corresponds to the results from the Trustpilot reviews, showing that Vokera customers are happy with the reliability of their boiler.
However, Vokera was only rated 3 out of stars for the overall brand-customer score, which relates to how likely customers are to refer Vokera boilers as a brand to their friends and family, and a very low score of 2 out of 5 stars for the overall engineer score, contradicting the Trustpilot reviews.
