Hi, I have a quote for Quinn radiators that is around £1000 cheaper than for the myson equivalent. (£2,255 compared to £3,343) (The models include Quinn Round top + Quinn Forza feature rads + Quinn Como towel rails, vs. myson HE + ancova multi-coloumn). It's for my Mum's house, so am...

I have received both positive and negative comments about alpha boilers, but at the moment I am not aware of a product that gives equivalent performance as the alpha flow smart package, in terms of combining both energy efficiency (sedbuk A plus gas saver) and performance (18l/min dhw). Can...

I'm not a boiler expert, but do energy enginering and have been reseaching boilers a lot recently for my Mum's 4/5 bed georgian terrace house (no wall insulation, but we have insulated the roofs a lot and will be putting in draught-proofing etc). The heat loss for space heating is around 30kW...

I had originally specified copper pipework for my Mum's house refurb, as I thought this would be superior, but my previous experience has been primarily with non-domestic projects and I'm a bit out of date too. The plumber advises he ldoes ike copper, but it will be extra cost and an extra...

I have been planning to get an Alpha flow-Smart 25 package (combi + gas saver + 25l store) as part of energy efficient refurbishment of my Mum's house. Seems on the face of it like a clever little system to get decent dhw flow rates and good energy efficiency at the same time. (Have looked...
