Hi there,
I want to get a new combi boiler to replace my old conventional boiler, which takes up a lot of room in my flat.
I currently don't have a shower and am desperate to get one, and our hot water runs at very low pressure (kitchen sink is a little more than a dribble).
So the new boiler needs to be powerful enough to heat a two-bed flat and power a moderately powerful shower (would I need a separate pump in addition to the boiler to increase the water pressure?).
I've started looking around on the internet and stores and am finding it a bit of a minefield. I've been advised that Worcester is the best make but the prices I've found everywhere are very high so I'm wondering if anyone can give me advice on what price range and perhaps make would be adequate for my needs (would a new boiler be the only option or are reliable refurbished boilers available?).
I don't want the cheapest thing on the market that will break down very soon but at the same time I don't want to get something that is OTT and exceeds my needs with a very high price tag; after all, I only live in a 2-bed flat, not a 4-bed house.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I am a relative novice in such matters and don't want to be ripped off by an unscrupulous plumber like my friend recently was.
Many thanks,
Sam
