Dan,
I'm thinking that the 40kw is too much for the heating and so was trying to understand if the engineer was sizing the boiler for the showers.
http://www.idhee.org.uk/ says I need 23kw. My current boiler is 30kw and struggles to keep up for a shower in the colder months when running at full flow. Using the other shower with adjustable flow gives a better result albeit less flow.
I've read on here that the boiler can start cycling if it is too large for the heating output leading to inefficiencies.
I don't really need to know any of this and could trust the heating engineer but in interests me hence the questions.
Thanks
