    sizing boiler - two boilers?

    Cheers guys. Bit late I know, but having done the calcs from a couple of online calculators, I come up with between 24 and 27kw for the house. I guess that's not a very scientific way of doing it but as i;m stuffing in as much insulation as I can when I take up floorboards and take down...

    Worried about my plumbers competence

    looking at this, it's still not right. Expansion vessel looks like it's connected to the balanced cold feed, not the expansion port! Looks like more than 600mm of pipework between the safety valve and the tundish. I'd check the fall on the D2 pipework from the Tundish and where it's...

    sizing boiler - two boilers?

    Yes, but to get a quote or anything resembling a quote seems to be impossible. last one i had round was before christmas and still waiting after chasing a couple of times.

    sizing boiler - two boilers?

    Preffer a more modular solutionso if anything packs up its easier to get generic bits. I have concerns about the oso for that reason(more cylinder specific components). Not sure I'd want to chuck a boiler and cylinder in together...

    Planning heating/Plumbing from scratch..

    Is the bungalow a new build? the reason i ask is that I've been advised to steer clear of UFH for my place due to thermal loss (an old 100yr old solid brick build)...water UFH just won't be man enough as a primary heating source. great for well insulated new builds, but not for me. I'd be...

    diy wired alarm...is there an obvious choice?

    All good points, thanks Will have mains powered smoke and CO2 alarms anyway - is there a specific advantage to having them integrated? No pets to consider except perhaps a 2 yr old son ;-) are wall/corner mounted sensors better than 360' ceiling sensors, of vice versa? LIke the idea of...

    diy wired alarm...is there an obvious choice?

    Thanks for replies...looks good! So a Texecom 24 metal kit plus x number of dual tech sensors (360 degree ceiling ones good or bad idea?) gives me a basic alarm I can set from the front door. I get notified via the communicator but does not seem to come with an external sounder so wont hear...
