My daughter is looking to buy a small 3 bedroom semi. It has a Baxi 105e boiler. We noticed that the living room only has a small radiator, as the present owner prefers to have her gas fire on at the same time. Would the boiler be big enough to up the size of the living room radiator to eliminate the need for the gas fire?
As a comparison, in my house we have a Baxi 105HE, which is adequate for a much larger area, 4 bedrooms plus extensions. Does the "105" indicate that they have the same output?
On another issue, the living room where the gas fire is situated has two small vents. From the outside they look like airbricks and have plastic grills on the inside. The present owner says they can be draughty at times but are needed because of the gas fire. Is this true? I have seen plenty of rooms with gas fires without vents.
