No.... no hurt feelings,
I suggested the OP consider a smaller boiler, one the could run safely on the existing gas supply to the existing boiler, as a viable option.
Whether it is a combi or a heat only the true efficiency of a boiler is important to the owner. SEDBUK "efficencies" are seldom achieved in real life use of the boiler yet they are used in sales related calculations of how much savings will be made by lower gas bills. Some people encouraged to replace a heat only vented system with a combi and sealed system have had little if any saving in gas bills.
what on 100ft of gas supply
jeez come on bernerd

Sorry Dan. no dents, actually no sense of importance to dent. Lack of response to me and others who have asked the same question of Intergas tends to suggest Intergas may not be able to explain the 122%(hi) rating without disclosing information about the difference between the testing set up and a typical domestic set up.

If the IP has a combi running on the existing supply at the boiler then MAYBE a new boiler could be installed safely. The question is what would be the maximum output possible on that gas supply. Then choose a boiler to suit. ( it may have to be a tin cup on a bunsen burner )
Maybe the better option is NOT a combi
Almst three years old but still valid Jeff's opinion on combi boilers

I totally agree, but some "heating engineers" do convince customers that combi boilers are the best option when a combi boiler is not the best option for their property.
A few will tell the customer that combis are condensing and as regulations require by law that all new boilers to be condensing boilers then the customer has no option but to have a condensing combi. Maybe these plumbers do actually believe what they are telling the customer ir maybe they are un-ethical and have their own reasons to promote combi boilers.
( I am aware that there are exceptions to the rule and non condensing boilers can be installed is a very few special circumstances )
