Boiler Question...

gimchee · 13 Jul 2006

Hi - which boiler would be most suited to run nine rads and provide the best hot water flow and value for money? I know nothing about combi boilers but I received to quotes and I don't know how to decide which one to go for.

1. Worcester 28i juniour

2. Vaillant ecoTec 831E

[/list]

Nne of those. The flowrates are too low. Try an Alpha CD50 or the 40kW Worcester.

ecoTEC 831 plus gets my vote.

The flow rate is dictated by;

- how much hot water you want to use at a given moment, for instance, do you bath or shower? If you shower an 824 will do it.

- what the incoming flow rate into the property is. If it's less than 16 litres per min arguably* there's no point in fitting anything bigger than an 831, which is a very well engineered boiler.

*this forum likes a good argument

With a decent mains flow and pressure if you want to fill a bath quickly then the Alpha is the one. If you only take showers then the smaller flows will do. But when the kitchen tap is drawn-off be prepared for a drop in hot water flow.

With combis allways get the highest flow rate you can get.

The junior is a good boiler but if you can afford it get a wb 30 cdi defiantly worth the money.
