We have had our old combi replaced by a Greenstar 24i junior boiler. Originally, the kitchen had a free standing gas cooker plus the combi boiler.
We were going to have a gas hob and an electric built-in oven. Our gas fitter says that there is not enough gas supply into the kitchen to have a supply for the hob. His reasoning was: 100,000 btu is supplied by the existing pipes, the boiler uses up 80,000 btu and the remainder 20,000 btu is not enough for the hob. I remained baffled.
I would be grateful if someone can help me understand the problem. I thought the free standing cooker would have required more gas to cook than a four ring hob.
