Hello Everyone.
I am new to this site, and would like to ask you experts out there a question.
My daughter and son in law are having a loft extention done at the moment ( perfect timimg eh, coldest winter for ages).
The plumber has suggested, quite reasonably that now might be the time to change the gas boiler for hot water and central heating.
He has recommended a combination/condensing Vaillant ecotech plus 831 or possibly 837.
When I look at the Vaillant website I get a little confused as to if these boilers would be the correct output for the house ie 24 or 28 kw.
The house is a typical Victorian semi, ie ground floor lounge, separate dining room, out the back is the kitchen and WC.
Upper floor, four bedrooms and a bathroom.
The loft extention will be a small double bedroom and en suite.
The plumber has said that the boiler siqe is really decided by the water flow pressure, ie no point in having a larger boiler if there is no additional water to heat. He is an established installer with a good reputation, and he says the above boilers should be satisfactory.
As it looks like I will be funding the work, I would appriciate any advice.
Thank you for your time,
Regards Jonathan
