Hi guys.
My first post here after spending lot of time reading related ones.
I am looking to replace my heat only boiler later this year.
The current boiler is a floor standing Ideal Concord 50Cxi located in the cellar level of the house.
It is connected to an open vented S-plan system.
Hot water tank is 250L stainless steel vented
There are 3 showers (and 1 bath which is not used)
The house is 4500 sq foot Edwardian detached over three floors (excluding cellar)
No zoning of radiators. Most except hall and bathrooms fitted with TRVs.
The radiator heat demand for the house is 42KW
Single programmable thermostat 907 Honeywell for whole house
Heat loss is an issue with solid concrete walls and several large windows with stained glass which have secondary glazing panels on them.
4 people living in house
From what I understand the current boiler is a commercial unit.
Would it be best to go for similar specification new boiler or a pair of smaller domestic boilers?
I understand that heating a house like this will never be cheap.
Reliability, efficiency and ease of servicing / repair are priorities.
