Mansion lol?? does that sound a lot in BTU? pressure wise - id only see that as an issue with the combi powering the en suite shower wouldnt i? i was wondering - with it being a new house with 100mm insulation in the cavity, should i go for 2 rads in the kitchen or 1? its quite a big space and...

hi mate the total BTU is anout 30k plus 3k for cylinder so 33k total. The water pressure will be on a 32mm pipe so they say they aim for 1.5 bar pressure and 1 litre per second flow so what do you think will suit the design best? im tempted to go for combi to run 1 shower and have a cylinder...

any recommended brands to look for ?

you only generally do the wiring, plumbing etc after the house is at least secure/watertight so currently im free to place an alarm box wherever is best for me which will be in a cupboard near the bathroom upstairs

the roof is almost tiled now, then ill start on the inside

yes thats the old dilemma, ive seen some reputable companies and from memeory its around £1300 but im fairly handy DIY wise nd always like to save money so wouldnt mind doing it myself BUT then again time comes into it. What are decent brands to self install?

by heat loss cals you mean the BTUs needed for each room? or is it something else?

Hi guys Ive got a new build, im wanting to have an alarm but not sure whether to get one fitted and all wired to the mains or look at self fit one or even if wireless ones are any good Do these wireless ones work if your power goes off? whilst the house is ready to have the main wiring added...

id picked a combi and was looking through the manual, i havent bought one yet and after everyones advice i might just get a system boiler instead seeing as its a family house

thanks, atm im just trying to work out if its even worth bothering getting a combi and not just a system boiler instead. But this is all news to me and i dont know if i should go for vented or not

Ive just been reading the boiler manual and it says to have 600mm from the flue to any opening, the wall in this room is only around 600mm wide so obv that means a flue wont be far enough away. Are flues only allowed to exit a wall in a straight horizontal line or can you add angles so that i...

Hi all Im going to do most of the plumbing in a brand new house, ill be getting a combi for the dhw and one of the showers and as advised on another thread, using a hot water cylinder with programmer to feed the bathroom inc other shower. Im wondering if a 30kw combi will feed approx 13 rads...

kitchen

i see ive been confusing everyone, sorry about that! the only bit of external wall is only approx 600mm, its where the boiler is going, and in a cupboard, so if i put the extractor there ill have to move the boiler which is why i was thinking to take the vent into the ceiling and then through...

yes mate, but theres joists running parallel that are in my way

thanks, so what are you saying is the best option than a combi?

thanks for that mate, thats what i was saying - as someone said earlier, it depends on how its used which for a family isnt ideal

Ive not made myself clear mate, i can get between the joists, but i cant get through them (ie a hole) to get to the outside wall to expel the air. thanks

i cant get to the wall for the joists running parallel to the wall

they only heat what you use
