hairdressers hot water

[WOLDEN]

i,m taking out a andrews 190lt open flue unvented cylinder , not sure what advice to give for hot water supply . has to feed 4 basins .
has to be gas , not keen on direct heating..

unvented cyl and heat only condensing boiler if the customer wants gas, local hairdresser i work for happy with Mira showers over basin and shared combi for sinks and wc basin, cheaper to put in 4 miras than cyl and boiler imho

what about a combi . boiler & cyl cost more & take up space ..as we no

inresponse to "wot about a combi?"


have you run 4 showers off a combi? a busy hairdressing salon will do so, you need stored water or 4 independant heating units

Hi. What was the matter with the Andrews?

 

[Puddle]

Have one,works off a normal cylinder ,storage tank above,with pumped supply to outlets or could use a couple of multi points if main ok
or multi point and electric heaters for each shower

I have replaced Andrews open flued unvented cylinders with Ecocents before, a straight forward change and you have no need to reconnect the gas.

andrews heater is old , customer wants to upgrade , only wants gas , keep bills down ..

why not replace witha new andrews? i think they do condensing verisions now to meet effency requirements.

the ecocent utilises an air source heat pump using heat recoveryso these are definatley cheap to run and there is no external unit.
