I did explain the condensing process.Motoring analogies tend to work.
Analogies are usually rubbish, just explain properly what the issue is, that every time the boiler starts it loses some efficiency due to the initial heat and possibly some gas leaving the flue. Also the igniter and has valve have a limited life so starting and stopping will wear it quicker.
To be honest i am not sure what might happen to other components. It's not like an oversized car where its lugging it's own weight around all the time, but there would be more residual heat left in a larger boiler that would eventually be wasted when it cools.
End of the day is their choice of they don't believe you and presumably it's their money at stake.
Some 'customers' are not worth having. If they can't be convinced with the simple facts, then forget it.How do you convince a customer that a boiler is too large.
When on site just mention your concerns about their boiler,get paid for your services.then mention you will follow up your concern and make advisory recommendations via email or post. (the recommendations need to be worked out on a cost basis,so do the sum's).Its legal stuff.How do you convince a customer that a boiler is too large.

Which begs the question.... Again.... Why do people on this forum insist on giving advice they are I'll equipped to give?
You mean ill!. how was Tokyo?..I am fancying going ?giving advice they are I'll equipped to give?

Is this over large boiler already installed or is it one that the customer has asked to be installed. ?
If already installled then surely the customer can see / hear that it is short cycling.
If it is to be a new installation and the customer cannot be convinced then maybe just walk away saying you do not want to be involved in installing a system that the customer will come to regret.
Possibly to counter the information given to customers by marketing people and incentives via installers to choose a particular brand and an installer associated with that brand.
Which in turn begs the question...... Why do people on this forum insist on giving reccomendations for new boilers when their recommendations are too often biased by their commercial relationship with one manufacturer.
What is a commercial relationship ? "" I can install a Brand B boiler for you with the standard 2 year manufacturer's warranty but if you choose Brand C and I install it for you then you will be entitled to a much longer manufacturer's warranty. ""
