The content about gas boilers has been moved to a new thread
In a few years' time I am thinking about upgrading an old back boiler to an electric boiler (due to flue restriction as this is the listed building, therefore I won't be able to use gas anymore).
I would like to know the size of the cable I require for a 12KW boiler (Gold Potterton - https://www.mrcentralheating.co.uk/...uct/Potterton-Gold-Electric-Install-Guide.pdf).
Is 6mm2 or 10mm2 suitable? I used some calculators that advised more than 10mm2, but I never came across such big cables (at Screwfix / Toolstation), they do not seem that common in domestic dwellings.
Since the floorboards are remove due to a refurbishment, I wanted to take the opportunity to install a spare cable before installing the laminate.
PS: the length of the cable will be less than 10 metres, around 9 metres.
Thanks!
