We're about to undertake a ground floor bedroom and disabled bathroom extension. Current house is a already a 4 bed semi with existing bathrooms. Total occupants at the moment is 5 adults and 2 babies but will later drop to 3/4 adults. We had our mains lead pipe replaced with the larger, blue plastic pipe back in 1995.
We currently have a combi condensing boiler feeding the whole house, 28kw I think. It is about 5-7 years old. The problem is we dont have too much space in the extension we are building and I would like to know what my options are in the following scenario (my parents are old and retired so dont have too much money to spend esp the extension costs):
1. Can we avoid having a mega flow storage tank due to the amount of space it requires and opt for a larger capacity combi that can supply a min of 2 bathrooms at the same time?
2. Someone told me there is a type of boiler that has a certain amount of water storage capacity built in, is this true and what is is called if true?
3. If we had to have a mega flow, Worcester Bosch tells me that it is possible to connect my existing combi to a mega flow, but some adaptions would be needed. Is this advisable if we can save some £1300-£1500 on a boiler? BTW the boiler will need to be resited as part of the extension works.
4. How much space should I allow for a megaflow?
Thanks.
