Hi
I'm looking for advice, the background...
We have just completed on a repossessed property that needs a lot of work including re-plumbing and central heating. Previously it had a vented system but the exchanger has been ripped from the boiler, the cold & hot water tanks are gone and the back boiler/solid fuel fire are all gone. The LPG tank has also gone.
So we are looking at a full new central heating system to support a detached 4 bedroom dormer with 2 en suites and a bathroom all with showers. It would be possible for all 3 showers to be running at the same time, hence we plan for one to be electric. Bottom line is we need a high flow rate for hot water, we also like v hot showers.
Been looking at combi's with high flow rate - 15 + litres/min - is this about right or too much?
Looking at circa 30kw output - again about right?
And finally which make - thinking Vailliant, Worcestor/Bosch or Gloworm?
Should I consider any other makes? Main drivers, in order of priority, are reliability; efficieny; cost; and ease of installation/maintenance.
Many thanks for any guidance.
