3 bed, 2 reception room, 2 bathroom, 2 storey house with 11 radiators is looking for a new boiler.
Three suggestions have been made to date by heating engineers
1 - Worcester Bosch Greenstar 25Si Combi (2.2k to install)
From reviews, it says its suitable for small or medium properties which is a bit vague a measurement but I wonder whether it could be a bit under powered. The 28Si model has been described as borderline for a 12 radiator property. Another plumber detests Worcester which he says litter the local scrapyard. Forums seem to be full of people asking how to adjust the pressure.
2 - Megaflow (Quote to follow)
Haven't received the quote yet to know whether its affordable for me but have received assurance that it is a good reliable, non-energy greedy system which means 2 showers could run together at the same time.
3 - Veissman combi boiler with telford 180 litre tank (2.2k)
Championed as an excellent boiler, with a tank that is supposed to be sufficient for 4 people despite being smaller than the Megaflow by around 10-15%. I don't know the proposed model but forums are full of criticisms of earlier boilers which had weak parts. Also, perhaps due to my early 70s upbringing in a council house, I associate cylinders with being poor and lacking energy efficiency...
thanks for any feedback you give.
