Oops, I meant list combi choices only. Didn't notice those were system boilers. Ok, the one I was looking at is a 31C. If that just means I'll get a better bath flow rate then that seems fine then. Thanks, I'll look into this. Cheers for the advice!

Hi, I'm trying to decide on which combi boiler to fit in a 1 bedroom house with one bathroom with bath/shower (I may add a shower room in the future) and three 600x1000mm double radiators. I've been looking at the Ferroli Optimax II HE combi as the depth is small enough to be located in a...

Researchers conduct successful studies into things much more complex that room heating all the time. With your reasoning above, all medical experiments, for example, are worthless in your view. I'm confounded why you need to experiment with every single possible variable you've mentioned...

Thanks for all the replies! Some answers to questions: > It sounds OK to me too, as long as it's at least a foot off the ground with a terminal guard. Though a plume management kit sounds like a good idea for passers by. If the PMK means I'd have a vertical pipe running up the outside...

Hi, I'm replacing an old boiler in my bedroom with a combi. It's a ground floor flat and the boiler can only really go next to a window in the bedroom. The current boiler is quite low off the ground. It has a cabinet built around it and is at a decent height so it's quite discreet and is...
