good point, thanks

Thanks. I think I therefore get the larger boiler.

OK thanks for your advice today. Maybe someone else on here knows whether this setup would work???

Thanks for the reply. You mention compatibilty problems, why would it not work with a new boiler but it would with an older one? Sorry to ask but I don't want to buy one if it is not going to work. Also as mentioned earlier we use the CH system to dry clothes on rads and with young babies...

Hello again Dan I actually want the Electrisaver in the new setup to maximise future savings. We are planning to stay here for 5-8 years so along the way this little box could really pay for itself and some! How would it be wired up? Of course I will ask the gas fitter to do it...

Hi Dan and cheers for the reply I think it would work well in our house for a couple of reasons. 1. We use our rads to dry clothes and a quick blast is all we need. Unfortunately we can't be trusted to remember to turn CH off so this could save money. 2. We don't use the timer much as...

Hi Can anyone please tell me if the Horstmann Electrisaver can be connected up to my CH system? Basically the Electrisaver (http://www.horstmann.co.uk/water-heating.php) is a simple push button electronic timer that saves energy by remembering to switch off when you forget. It is marketed...

Hi I would like some help please choosing between 2 boilers, Baxi Neta-Tec 28 HE and the 33 HE. Max flowrate is 13.5 LPM for the 33 and 11.5 LPM for the 28. The difference between the two models is only £70 but I will only spend it if I will actually achieve the flow at the showerhead...

Thanks Yeah I have 15mm feed Had a guy round who said install 28mm up to gas hob then 22mm from hob to boiler Just looking round for install prices now

Cheers No I will def upgrade the boiler and have pretty much decided on Glow-Worm-Betacom-28A combi Amongst other things it's £551 inc vat!

Thanks for that. In that case I will probably get the "Glow-Worm Betacom 28A HE" which is £551 inc VAT on boilers2go. The specs for this combi say 24.5 KW max and 11.2 LPM so it should "at least" match my current 9 LPM for HW. That said, I wonder what a 12.3 LPM shower would feed...

Hi Does anyone know the specs for the Glow-worm Swiftflow 80 Combi? I found the installation manual via a Google search (over on ultimatehandyman website) however it doesn't have the info I want. Basically I want to know the KW heat output and LPM flow rate. I currently have this aging...

cheers one thing is clear, i have a lot of reading up to do to work out if i need to also replace the controls along with the boiler!

compenation controls? i have never heard of these. my honeywell timer is ancient. can you please tell me what i need to buy and i will get the kit!!! is this related on "wireless controls"? i thought this was just a timer without the hardwiring! thanks

Sorry, I should have clarified that. Until very recently (start of cold snap), 17degc on the dial is basically off for the CH! I think maybe once or twice it came on at 4am. Also we have a very young baby and the Wife is paranoid the nursery will freeze unless we do it this way (ie CH on...

Thanks for the replies guys. Some of you are saying that savings are possible by upgrading the "controls". Please can someone explain this to me as I would also like to do this. Does controls refer to the "timer"? A this moment I have a Honeywell timer hardwired to the boiler and also hard...

Thanks for confirming that. However can anyone confirm if I need to arrange the annual service myself or is that somehow included in the new boiler contract? And if its up to me whats the best (sorry, cheapest!) way of arranging an annual service? I assume its not via one of these boiler...

Thanks for replies. The existing boiler breaks down 2-3 times a year which is a pain. Luckily I am on BG Homecare 100 scheme so I only paying monthly premium of £16 for the repairs. But I have another question, If I get a new boiler, do I still need to keep up the boiler cover or will...

Hi I would like to work out the cost savings if I swapped our old combi boiler for a new one. The existing combi is a Glow-worm Swiftflow 80, Efficieny Band F (10-15 years old?). I am looking at a Glow-Worm Betacom 28A HE Gas Combi...

Hi ianblue Thanks for the info. Is 22mm just adequate or is it the correct size? I may as well lay the proper one while I am ripping the kitchen out! Thanks!
