Thanks Tony, The reason I am pestering you guys for the info is because when I come to speak with the installer I want to have an idea of roughly what he should be proposing, to make sure he A). knows his stuff, B), is not taking me for a ride. Anyway, it's a 3 bed semi with 8 rads...

Tony, Thanks for your comment. So going back to my original question. With the flow rates I have provided what would be a good boiler I could go for, bearing in mind I'll have about 30m2 of Underfloor heating as well as the central heating rads? What are my options. Thanks. Tom.
