Valiant ecotec pro28 is it big enough

[darryl1973]

Hello
I am having a completly new system installed from scratch pipes, rads
and combi
the plumber who has given me the quote for the job has recomended the above boiler
i live in a three story mid terrace with one bathroom
the system will have nine rads fitted to it will the above boiler be big enough to heat the property properly
i did ask in a local plumbing shop but he just gave me the book on the bolier and said read that
its not that i distrust the plumber but i want to put my mind at rest after
all the trouble with my current system burt rads leaking pipes etc
any help would be great
thanks

It will be more than big enough for 9 rads.

I would recommend paying the bit extra and getting the Ecotec Plus 831 though.

A lot better boiler, with a better warranty.

This is a combi so it is sized for the hot water.

Its OK for an average 3 bed house ( just ) with one bathroom.

A better starting point is to know what you have at moment! Whats the make and model of boiler?

At the moment i have a seperate boiler for the rads an ideal mexico and a boiler in the bathroom for hot water
i bought this house of my parents and the current system is quite old and
from what i can remeber has always been trouble

OK, so as an instant water heater is about 22 kW then a 28 kW combi will be a bit better than the existing one!
