Points taken on board, and thanks for the long detailed post once again. And yes, I agree, you rarely hear from a happy camper.

Lots of info there Dan! :D Thanks Any reason why you specify the ATAG over the other boilers? I hear good things and read good things on here about ATAG, Viessman and Remeha. I hear the Atag is like the Rolls Royce of boilers, but after a search on here I also read quite a lot of...

Thanks for the help with sizing the cylinder, and recommendations on which cylinder. With regards to the annex Dan, i think you are right, it doesn't require anymore. Only issue would be that there is no gas supply to the annex, and it would be A LOT of work getting it there. I checked the 3...

Sorry mate, didn't know you was asking how many bedrooms it is, you asked if it was 12-18 and I said no :lol: Its a 4 bedroom house. I thought the number of bedrooms would be less relevant than the number of baths etc to the amount of hot water needed. Also, I stated earlier that the...

Yes, that was helpful. The annex only has 1 or 2 rooms used for about 10 hours a week, the shower is used every couple of days. Is a multipoint, sort of a small water cylinder, electric powered that would supply the annex with hot water? 250-300L tank sounds fine if that would do the job...

Points taken on the purhasing boiler seperately. I was trying to get approximate prices so when a breakdown of a quote is given, I know the sort of price range for certain parts. Hot Water usage: Main House 1x electric shower, 2x power showers, 1x Large bath, 7x Sinks Annex 1x power...

Yes it was a constructive thread, no thanks to you may I add. Why do I have the right to pay less than RRP? If I want RRP prices on products, I can ring the manufacturers and ask. There is NOTHING wrong in getting a product for less than RRP. Also, going by many many posts I have seen before...

:roll: What's your problem? I haven't BLEATED on about getting things done as cheap as possible, IN FACT I haven't said that once through the whole thread, I have only used the word "cheap" once in the whole thread. Yes I have said its a large house, and yes I gave the measurements...

Again, thanks for the long explainations, you do the forum proud :) Could anybody recommend anybody who is competent at taking this job on AND NOT going to try bankrupt me? One issue I always have is finding good, decent tradesmen, 70% of them see the size on my house and they try...

The distance between the annex and main house is 4meters. The pipes running between these are already in the ground, however I could possibly lift the outside floor up and re-do the pipes with mega insulation round them. I generally wont be too fussed with thermostats in the annex and am sure...

Also, since we have gathered that I do need approx 40-45KW (as loft insulation can only be applied in some of the places), what is the next step? As I said before, here are the main 6 boilers I was thinking of;

Thanks for taking the time out to work that out mate. Now I have some questions about fitting insulation. In the granny annex and Leisure rooms the ceilings are the type that run parallel to the roof (ie they are sort of a pitched ceiling), there is no access to lay down some more insulation...

It's not 12-18 bedrooms but it is a large house. I hope I dont pay anywhere near that in gas mate! At the moment have a 31KW boiler on natural gas and a broken 29KW boiler on LPG. The 31KW we pay around £1500 a year. After the advice given before by D_Hailsham, I am no longer going to...

If all I need is approximately a 45KW boiler, I had 6 in mind: Atag Q38S Vaillant EcoTec 46KW Commercial Vaillant EcoTec Plus 37KW System Viessmann Vitodens 200W 45KW Commercial Broag Remeha Avanta Plus 39C (offer conversion to a system boiler) Broag Remeha Quinta Pro 45 Could people...

OK Mate, I will send you one in a bit. Also, just to make it clear so I'm not wasting your time, I previously considered using a mixture of combis or combi/system but im not that way inclined. Im more inclined to using 1 single system boiler. Thanks, I will have a look at that site, if...

Im in Huddersfield mate, just off J25 on M62. :wink: I have thought about using one combi and one system too and have thought of using two combis :lol: If I have a hot water cylinder(s) and keep it permanantly on, would that not give instant hot water too, therefore eliminating the...

Thank you for the response, good advice given there. Here are the results of the calculator, I've broken them down; Main House = 31.47kw Granny annex = 12.55kw I have put in a ZERO value for the "allowance for DHW" as I was unsure what to put. If somebody could advise, I could pop...

Hi, I am new to the forum and would like some help from some of the knowledgable guys here. I have been lurking on here for some time, picking up certain things and have found the site very helpful. I have a fairly large detached house with a detached garage/granny annexe. There are 2x combi...
