Hello Troops. We need to make a decision about a the boiler and I'm after some advice.
Currently we've got a big 3 br terrace with an old cylinder system but a newish (3-4 YO) British Gas Condensing boiler. The shower pump has gone and a stratospheric gas bill for the winter has lead the missus to talking about a new boiler.
We got 2 quotes for replacing it all with a Wor-Bosch Condensing Combi for around £3500. These seemed very expensive and I've read that a megaflow/pressurised system is better for houses with multiple users. [We've only 1 bathroom but there's 2 of us + 2 toddlers.] I know water pressure is an issue with megaflow systems but one of the plumbers said we had very good pressure.
So some questions:
Is £3500 taking the mickey for a Combi - (in London)?
Is Megaflow a better option?
What ballpark would we be looking at for the Megaflow?
Thanks for any insights.
