Good morning all,
I recently visited a property where there were two lower power boilers fitted rather then one higher power one (eg 2 30kw over 1 60kw)...
I also just had a look at the Vallient brochure today, and they also showed configuration plans for both a single and multiple (in this case 3) boilers.
All boilers connect up to the same loops for radiator and hwt so its not like one is designated for one floor, the second boiler for another floor etc, or likewise one isn't for hw while the other for heating etc...
Anyone come across this type of installation before (be it vented or unvented) and can anyone give me pros/cons over having one large boiler vs 2 small?
Thinking more along the lines of running costs, wear on the boiler etc I understand that if one breaks then there's still another to keep the hot water running, heating in the house etc (not that it would be a long term solution as the boiler isn't designed for that capacity!)
Any info/ideas?
