Hi, I require a new oil boiler, previous boiler never worked. Its a huge 200kw red diesel boiler downgraded I think to 75kw.
I have 2 quotes so far:
180kw ideal falcon gts
2 x 90kw Hoval Uno - 3
Is condensing just a waste? Even hoval didn't recommend it suggesting their models takes special low sulphur fuel popular in EU but not UK.
Currently heating does not do attic however I would like boilers to be able to cope in future. For this reason I think it may be better to get 1 boiler now and have plumbing for another at a later date? How much more efficient would heating be with 2 boilers?
I did a rough heat loss on stelrad stars, with current heat load it comes to around 57 - 63kw with rooms at either 19c or 21c and -3c outside temperature
With attic and basement rooms it jumps to around 89kw 19c & 99kw 21c .
Hot water its not linked to boiler but would like boiler to cope for 7 bathrooms would that be another 14kw?
Which boiler would you recommend?
Thanks
