I think we're erring towards the company offering the Vaillant Ecotec Plus but I'd like to understand the implications of having a boiler that's potentially too big. Can anyone please advise? Thanks.

I don't actually know. I guess it might relate to the fact we were considering moving the boiler upstairs. It's currently downstairs. No idea what type of pipes we currently have. I know they're copper - that's all.

OK thanks. So if it turned out that the 24kW and 30kW boilers quoted for are too big, what implications would that have? More expensive initially or more expensive running costs or something else?

Yes, they've done heat loss calculations. It's quite a big house, very old and we have an open fireplace.

Is there a kind person out there who can help me understand if these 2 quotes are comparable? One seems much longer than the other but with my practically non-existent technical knowledge, they both seem to be saying more or less the same thing. In a nutshell, is one offering more than the other...

I've no idea about the technical side of things but it's an old farmhouse and is pretty big so I'm sure the heat loss is probably quite high.

I don't actually know which Vaillant boiler as the quote/estimate didn't specify. He said he would come back to do an exact heat loss calculation. The firm that quoted the 24kW Worcester did carry out a basic heat loss calculation yes. Both companies are local and reputable so I'm sure they...

We have received quotes for the following system boilers. Price-wise they are pretty similar but which one is best?: 1) Vaillant system boiler with 250L unvented hot water cylinder or 2) Worcester Greenstar 4000 system boiler, 24kW with 210L unvented cylinder Many thanks.

Thanks. The knock-through would only be one wall which currently only has one plug socket on and nothing else. We have told the electricians about our plans so they are aware. The rest of the rewire is just updating old for new. There are no other layout changes.

We are currently getting quotes to have our house rewired but at some point, we'd like to knock through between the kitchen and dining room to make it more open plan. First question - should we do the knock through before the rewire or will it not make much difference? Secondly - in order to...

Thanks. Will give that a try.

Thank you. Could it be the water pump then do you think? As I said it's very loud and is intermittent. It sounds like something is trying to work but struggling!?!

We've recently moved house and inherited an old Kingfisher 2 boiler. It has suddenly started making a very loud intermittent roaring sound every time we run the hot water. Can anyone suggest what the problem might be, whether it's serious and roughly how much it would cost to fix? Any advice...
