Advice on replacing 2 boilers please

[steshaw74]

Thank you all so much. I am now going round to the house tonight and will take some pics to post here this evening.
Be sure to check back y'all......

will do, make sure you get as much detail as possible.

OK, looks like I might not need help now as the owner is gonna take it off the market and rent it out.......seesh!

Anyhow, after telling me that, they then thought it "....unnecessary for me to take pics"!

The 2 boilers are:

Glow-Worm Fuel Saver MK II
Glow-Worm Ascot 1.45 (which I think is the water heater).

They're gonna tell me for sure by next week.

Thanks for your interest, guys.

feulsaver is boiler ascot is a multipont water heater,

REplace with one combi boiler

If it's the old Ascot I'm thinking of, make sure you knock him down well on price, as you will need a brickie in to brick up the wall where it was, as the internal skin of the wall is absent due to the ascot being in it

And half the heater is asbestos

That's a worry.
I found this thread relating to the exact same boiler, with a picture too.

Depends. How many baths/shower/etc? A:

1. Atag 51 kW combi,
2. Ethos 54C combi,
3. Rinnai Twinflow.

1. Atag 51 kW combi,

Sounds like overkill to me and probably too over budget for the average man.

The CH boiler is actually an Atag bought in. Rinnai do the multi-point part and package it all up.

You seem to be missing the point!

This is a potential landlord with cash to invest and he wants to pick up this property cheap because it is a distressed sale.

He will be using flown in cheap labour from Afghanistan etc. They work for £20 per day! He wants the cheapest boiler that he can find and would probably have a Heatline 32 kW at the end of the day if he was able to buy it.

If its a landlord then I would recommend a Ravenheat!

Pay attention at the back!!!

It is around 23/24 litres/min and never runs out of DHW. It delivers just under 700 litres of DHW in 30 minutes. A 700 litre cylinder takes well over an hour to reheat. Compare the price of a ridiculous 500 litre unvented cylinder (the largest volume you can have) and a powerful quality system boiler. Seen the size of a 700 litre cylinder? No contest the ATAG combi wins hands down on all points.
