I talked to some plumbers about a new installation I need for a 4 bed 2 storey house with two bathrooms, one toilet and one kitchen/utility. The bathrooms have a bath each. One has a mixer shower and the other an electric one (above the baths so they cannot be used at the same time as the baths).
I said to them I was not keen on the traditional vented system. Two came back with a suggestion for a 120,000 BTU Combi boiler, probably because they do not believe it will work so "get the guy to pay for a top of the range boiler to play it safe"
Another suggested a boiler (combi again I think) with a Megaflo. From what I have read I do not need this or the expense that comes with it.
I am surprised none of them suggested a Thermal store with or without integral boiler.
Now I am almost convinced that what I need is the Thermal store, giving mains pressure in a vented system, with or without an integral condensing boiler. Does anyone agree/disagree?
I am looking for economy in the plumber's charge to install the boiler/thermal store but I do not know if there is a great saving in the installation of an integral unit, which is more expensive than the two items bought separately.
