We currently have a 3 bedroom detached house with double glazing, loft insulation but NO cavity wall insulation. Our gas boiler is a 16 year old Myson rated at 55,000 BTU.
We are planning an extension which will add an additional 2 bedrooms, larger kitchen and a garage conversion to a clinic for my wife (Holistic Therapist)
Firstly I need to look at a new boiler, I guess a condensing combi-boiler makes most sense as a larger capacity one should cost a similar amount to run as out existing one.
The Worcester Greenstar 2 Plus range looks good, any comments or other recommendations ?
I plan on fitting TRV to most of our radiators and we plan on having 3 showers and 1 bath in the house. We would only plan on ever having a max of 2 showers running at once.
My wife's clinic needs to have seperate temperature control as some therapies such as massage require the clients to wear minimum clothing. I presume the easiest way would to be have a separate zone with it's own thermostat ?
What sort of heating method would be most suitable, bearing in mind we will be converting the garage and therefore will not be laying a new concrete floor ?
What sort of boiler capacity would we need with the new extension ?
With a pressurised boiler we hope to be able to achieve good showers without having to purchase additional pumps or power showers. Will this be achievable ? and if so what sort of flow rate should we be looking for from a boiler to run 2 showers simultaneously ?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
