Boiler Sizing Apps

[Riley]

As the title says I'm just wondering if anyone has come across any apps that accurately deal with boiler sizing. Look forward to hearing from you. Cheers

Boiler sizing?

 

[Riley]

Yeah sorry just wondered if there was some sort of phone or tablet app that just allowed you to input the various calculation information and it then provided you with the required boiler size at the end. Cheers

You need to do whole house heat loss and rad sizing, then you work out what size boiler you need from that.

Thanks for that. Sorry I know the sort of things you need for the calculation i was just wondering if some clever dick had produced something that saved you having to work it all out manually that was all

Not sure if it's what you're after, but I downloaded the free ideal app a couple of hours ago (I think just about all the manufacturers have apps). It lets you enter number of kitchens, bathrooms and utilities then gives you all the boiler options and asks you to select water and gas pressure to determine which one suits. It doesn’t take bedroom numbers or dims though? When you select a boiler it gives you the full spec and manual, you can register it via the app too. It also has Ideal's contact details etc so you can get in touch with support at the click of two buttons. I’m putting together a folder on my phone with all manufacturers apps so I have manuals etc close to hand for future ref.

Excellent ill give it a look. Realise you've only just downloaded it but would you have an opinion of the accuracy of the kw output the calculator produces.

Not a clue, I don’t even have my gas, so I just assist in boiler installations. I like to be a super efficient, helpful teaboy :coffee:

Ha ha fair enough. I've just re-done my ticket after a few years away so am just trying to catch up with new "Stuff". Anything for an easier life. Cheers
