Beyond price, are there any great differences between the two?

So the wife has an electric tooth brush with a two pin charger and I have a rechargable razor with the same. Are there UK sockets which are not so... clumpy / hotelly? (not sure that's a word, lol) The only UK one's I've found are... Single gang but not exactly decorative...

lol... really? Now I know you're taking the pee :roll: :)

We were getting a bit peeved at the price of meat... then Lidl had some Moose (Elk) steaks in (lush, btw!) and it got me thinking... how much is it REALLY to eat exotic meat. Turns out Kangaroo steak is cheaper (and apparently healthier) than British beef steak.. as is a host of other...

Anyone can indeed manipulate numbers to mean pretty much anything, I wholeheartedly agree. I suppose in some respects I am looking at a worst case scenario, and used numbers to reflect this. My aim is purely to make an educated choice around, at this point, a boiler setup that is going to...

Yup. My mates bungalow would fit inside it... and he has a 34kW boiler, hah

A fair and valid point... it's a little more difficult buying rads in Watts though.. For example... this is the output from the product description when searching "3500 watt radiator" in Google. I checked on a few website calculators for the rounded figures. MrHeating, B&Q, TradePlumbing...

And using the above, I chucked together a quick spreadsheet for the main rooms.... Does this look to be about right?

Sooooo.... a plumber (very nice chap and recommended) came round on Saturday evening to survey the place. It's his opinion that either a high output combi (40kW) OR system boiler will achieve the same outcome, with the exception of one needing a tank and the other ... not so much. Wife is...

http://www.hss.com/g/67715/Folding-Engine-Crane.html Should do the trick

Out of curiosity... I managed to get a quick look at the glowworm that's currently powering the system. 30kW output ... it's a Hideaway FF, and it's heating more rooms than the intended new system would be. That would say to me that there could be an option to go higher rated combi?(which...

I'd love to, I really wood (get it? :P) BIG obstacles however... blowing £15-20k in one hit is out of the question, and lack of space is the other issue. To really get the efficiency out of one I get the feeling that buying in bulk is pretty much required, that is not an option. The...

Dimensions as promised... come on then heating boffins.. show me the magic :)

The current boiler and tank are in a part of the building that has been divided off and sold. Effectively from the end of November there will be no boiler system in my part of the property. The system originally ran 42 radiators and 6 bathrooms. I didn't realise we had so many rads!! I've...

I did fleetingly look at biomass, however, the fuel storage alone is impractical. The house is big, but the grounds surrounding it are not, unfortunately.

... because I pay the bills and keep a record of my meter readings? The boiler is the only appliance in the house on mains gas, so I can pretty much rule out anything else. Everything will be taken into account when I have the information available. End of the day, how the house is...
