Is it possible for me to send you a private message please? :oops:

At present we have a Potterton Kingfisher which is located in a plant room. I have not found an installer that could give me a quote on that unit but tomorrow I am seriously thinking of trying to get one more quote.

You are confirming all my research regarding the cascading of boilers and buying two 45kw units is just plain overkill. I am grateful for the input of the domestic installers and I completely understand why they are recommending the two 30kw option. It is crazy for anyone to talk about...

I fully understand this very valid point, plus it is a Sunday afternoon which should be a day of rest for you guys.. Thank you for taking the time to respond

Please feel free to post your comments as I much prefer to hear fresh ideas before I agree to an installer doing the job. I live in the West Country and I guess this job is not an everyday occurence for most installers and it is possible that there is a lack of expertise in this field, hence...

Thanks mehran and I fully understand your very valid point and if I were to go for two Viesmann 100's then I would get a five year warranty but unfortunately that warranty only applies to that range. Going for two boilers is going to be a big gamble regarding reliability, and running costs...

Looking pretty one sided so far and have you guys had experience of both products? :) I am only asking this to get a rounded picture and I do not want a slanging match if mysteryman or anyone else recommends Viesmann. What I am after is a constructive comparison and the reasons why I should...

On another thread I was discussing whether I should fit 2 x 30Kw boilers or one 60Kw boiler. I have now made the decision to go for the one boiler and have all but made up my mind regarding the product to go for. I am leaning toward a Viesmann along with the weather compensation but I have...

I am not a plumber and have no expertise in that area but I have a few observations. You state this house was a new build when you took occupancy, so was the boiler part of the property when you moved in, or did you have it installed at your cost? I am asking this question because in my...

I have asked lots of questions, listened to what has been said and during my enquiries both via Google and the good old fashioned telephone, I have now reached a decision :) The two 30Kw boilers were a tempting option but I just feel it is asking for long term problems regarding...

Hi again mickyg, The figures I quoted were those worked out by British Gas Domestic who came to give me a quote for a replacement boiler. Following your first post I have been letting my fingers do the walking and my research tends to agree with what you are saying. I have checked with a...

I would be very grateful if you had any links etc Another great idea and is this a sort of calorex heat exchanger and yes we are on economy 7 :wink: I guess we can see why my head is spinning but I appreciate all these VERY useful suggestions

Hi Mickyg, I have had the recommendation of using two boilers working together to help eliminate any possible break down issues. In other words if one boiler breaks then the second boiler could still cope to a certain degree and at least give me hot water and keep the house warm. If...

We are about to replace our old Potterton Kingfisher CF180 boiler with something ‘slightly’ more efficient and I am confused with all the different options being offered. We live in a large detached house which has a heated indoor swimming pool. It has been calculated that we will need a...
