Dear all,
I have just moved to a new house which has a Worcester 24Sbi bolier and hot water tank. The problem is that the house is too cold and when having a 5 minute shower the hot water runs out.
I am also to install an ensuite bathroom and a number of new radiatiors in the house which will put more demands on the system (in winter the house is not hot enough). There are currently 11 double 600 x 500 radiators through 4 floors. I want to increase the number of radiators by 6/7 600x 500 doubles.
My questions is this; I am thinking of getting a megaflo (or similar system) installed to remedy the hot water issue. If so, can this run off my existing boiler? Also, would I be able to remove the tank in my loft if I go for the megaflo. Will the Megaflo give me similar water pressure as generated by the water pump for the shower?
Furthermore, do you think the boiler will be able to handle the extra radiators and demand of the Megaflo or should I replace that too? Can you recommend a good make of boiler and Megaflo type system - and any idea of an average price to budget for this?
Lastly, what is the best plcae to locate the megaflo? Does it need to be on an external wall or on a particular floor?
I will of course get the water pressure checked first to see if it can work with the Megaflo.
Thanks Kindly,
Dooza
