    TOSS UP FOR WHAT BOILER FOR THIS FLOW RATE?

    :? Hi Last week "dean7445" explained to me about how to work out what new boiler is best for the "flow rate". I have added up all the current radiators, including additional radiators as there might be a change of property layout upstairs. That is I've added all BTU's and kW's...

    TIME FOR A NEW BOILER - WHAT DO YOU THINK . . . .?

    Thanks dean7445 - it is all making sense now. I never knew that is how combi's work and what the actual KW stood for. I will probably end up buying the Greenstar 29CDi i.e. 29kw. They don't make a 28kw. I needed some answers as it's getting cold now. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS...

    TIME FOR A NEW BOILER - WHAT DO YOU THINK . . . .?

    brassedoff - I was thinking of a SYSTEM BOILER but I haven't priced it up yet. If I went for that (that's the sturdy looking cylinder with lots of pipes attached - right?) would the water pressure for the shower be standard, or forced from boiler pump? or would I have to install a shower...

    TIME FOR A NEW BOILER - WHAT DO YOU THINK . . . .?

    Hi The time has come for a new boiler. I don't want to break any forum rules but are you able to say what make/models or companies to stay clear off? We are restricted because it is LPG. Below are two models that look like they'd fit what we need. I've emailed Vallant to see if...
