What boiler system for a 3 bed??

[Thatsathinker]

Hi guys,

This is my 1st post on here, so hellloo

Anyway, down to business. I'm VERY new to DIY. I need to replace my existing boiler in my house is it's rubbish and old. Also, it's currently stored in a cupboard in the kitchen. So I'm going to replace and remount the next one to the wall.

I've heard some really good things about combi boilers in houses, so I'm obviously thinking this could not only be a space saver, but also more efficient and cost effective?

I've also been advised Vaillant are the best?. The house currently only has one bathroom, so there isn't too much strain to produce mass amounts of hot water, I just want a good shower in the morning.

So, any advise you guys could give me would be great. Specifically, do you think combi boilers do work in houses now days?

I'd look to replace the rads as well, which I assume to a good thing when putting in a new heating system.

Thanks guys, as I said any advice would be welcome.

Hi John,

Thanks for the tip!

I've tried browsing the searched, but I can't see anything relating to combi boilers in houses? - I'm not to great as using these search functions so apologies....

I was planning to get some quotes, but generally I find it hard to trust them as I think they're trying to get the best deal for them, rather than for me.
