New cylinder/ boiler advice 5 bed house

Cheaper. I have done it and did the calcs.

now your changing the argument george. I suspect that your getting forgetful, thats ok I'll bring you up to date. You said it was cheaper to fit another combi than an unvented. As I explained the additional installation costs would make it more expensive. Your calculations were wrong, I feel for your customers, even the imaginary ones. You also didn't take into account the gas supply. Your idea of switching between the 2 is not approved in domestic situations unless its incorporated into an approved appliance. I'm concerned that your carrying out illegal installations George.

Do you understand what 100% CH & DHW backup means?

yes perfectly. Do you mean like a 9kw water heater replacing a highflow combi? if not get back to me.

This was in refference to an argument you had been pushing. Clearly you didn't get my point, albeit a marginally sarcastic one. You didn't respond with any explanation, just drivel. You can have another go, I'm very tolerant with people trying to learn. Its admirable.

A throw-over switch for both combis. Only one on at any time, impossible for both to be on. Get it?

Can't wait to get a bit of education on this one. Do tell, did you use the same throw-over switch as in the big rinnai? And if so, how did you incorporate that into two separate boilers of different size and make?

ben you just gave him a big clue.

has georgebumwell got type approval for his breach of british standards I wonder? Or is it yet more drivel. . . . . .

Are you saying you do not size and spec the cable to suit? He is very confused. Sad.

No, I know how to spec a cable, both for heat and amperage.
What I said was: YOU won't be able to quickly google what the code is for a cable of that size when it come to heat protection.

Just to rob you of excuses pretending you don't understand my question.
Heat resistant flex is specified in BS6500. But that is only flex.
To further rob you of the opportunity of hiding behind the sizing excuse: let's say this particular heater needed 10mm.

What specification did you use for the insulation to comply with heatresistance requirements?

Not at all.
Bear in mind he is not actually a rgi, so won't see it coming.
Providing he chooses to blag himself out of it, he can only go 2 ways. Both will clearly show him for what he is.
My guess is that he will come up with something like: "I shouldn't have to tell you how to do this."

It is the same kind of question as the heatspec of the cable, which he won't be able to answer. This one I know because a mate of mine called every electrical wholesaler he could find, and none of them knew. This was after he spend the entire weekend searching the web to get the cable to hook up his cooker.
He finally called me to ask. I was at work at that moment so suggested he just asked the supplier of his cooker.
Unfortunately, nobody at Ikea had a clue.

Fantastic. Then why are you asking questions here then, when you say you know?

Look in cc for the answer to the question, and watch him squirm.

To demonstrate that you are a troll. I have posted the answer in cc, but as you are not a rgi, you can't read it.
It is one of those typical things that you only discover when you come up against it.

You never knew. That is sad. I have tried to get him on the way to proper thinking as well. How sad.

Don't you think that if I had not really posted the answer in cc, somebody would have asked by know why he couldn't find it?

Just to take away yet another excuse for you not to answer the question, let's say I don't know, and the op would like to follow your idea of the electric heater, why don't you tell him what cable he should use?

It seems I was right when I predicted that you would never come up with the answer and keep spouting drivel.
