Totally agree, CBF - but wanted to give engineer benefit of the doubt - but now I'll stick with what I have! Thanks for help.

Thanks Dan - brands that haven't been mentioned yet so well worth a look. Have a good evening.

We inherited the boiler 5mths ago when we moved into the house. Has never worked properly and no-one seems to be able to fix it. Found some old receipts at the back of a cupboard and looks like the fan was replaced twice whilst under warranty and the electrics have been dodgy. We've decided to...

Hi CBF - existing boiler is Worcester Greenstar 40cdi. We don't want to change the cylinder, but the heating chap doing the calcs is saying that a move from 210 to 250 "would help the load of the cylinder making it more efficient". I'm assuming I'm being a bit thick not understanding why. Do...

Thanks for this - starting to make a bit more sense! So I've checked the coil rating for the Tribune and it's 23.08 kw - however, if I've understood correctly, if the boiler is set up as 'hot water priority', then I only have to put in a boiler big enough to cover the heating (34.7kw), rather...

Sorry ALEC1, only just seen your response. So the Tribune HE 210 says it has Kw/24hrs standing heat loss of 1.85, but from your comment about 'boiler diagnostics enable the engineer to match the two' - are some cylinders better matched with some boilers? I.e. if we moved to a Viessman 200 System...

So i only need a 35kw boiler.....? That's great - but why wouldn't you take into account the hot water need? If heating takes almost 35 kw, where does it get the power from to heat the HW? Sorry if this is a stupid question, just trying to understand....

First post, so please bear with me. We need a new boiler in our house and have had a lovely plumber calculate our Heat Calcs (heat loss?) for the house to be 34.87 kw. We have 3 bathrooms, but only use 2 of them unless we have guests (rarely!!) - my question is how do we calculate the hot...
