Hi All,
I've got a customer who wants 4 showers in one house. They don't want electric showers, so I guess it'll have to be a big cylinder. But would it be possible to put 2 combi boilers in, so as not to have to store hot water? I assume the cylinder would need to be quite big for 4 showers, and would take longer to warm up after it had been emptied. So I'm exploring the possibility of putting in 2 combi's. Would I need to get the regulator on the meter changed? (The hob and oven will be all electric).
To avoid a complicated job on the central heating, I could have just one combi for the heating and say 2 showers, and the other combi for the other 2 showers. Or would it be best to plumb the boilers in unison with a separate cold feed for each. If I put a non return valve on the hot coming out of each boiler, the pumps won't be fighting each other.
I did consider solar panels and a big cylinder as another option.
Any and all opinions very welcome. I know a little bit about boilers, but I guess that just makes me dangerous!
