I need to replace my tired combi but not sure where to turn!
Background:
Have a 5 bed house with 1 bathroom, one en-suite, downstairs cloakroom, utility room and kitchen. This equates to:
1 bath
2 showers
3 basins
2 sinks
washing machine & dishwasher.
7 rads + 2 towel rails upstairs
8 rads downstairs
4 rads in conservatory
All rads currently on circuit but would like if poss to zone them into the 3 areas.
Possible extension in the future too so more rads required!
So what system do I go for?
My thoughts:-
Combi (like Alpha CD50)
- Will water pressure/temp suffer if drawn from different sources at once. No heating when hot water demanded.
Unvented store (like Megaflo etc)
- worried about high pressure system full of hot water!
- don't like the idea of annual maintenace
Vented store (like Pandorra or Torrent)
-looks good but how good realy?
-don't want to pay out all this money and later be told "should have got a Megaflo like every one else"!
Woulds appreciate some input from anyone that has installed these or uses them?
Many thanks
