But here you agree???

Is that all I wrote? Maybe carry on reading the whole post before making stupid comments.

All I’m saying is in part you agree and then in others you don’t? No need to get shirty about it. Everyone has their own opinions and I was saying that it is best practice to fit a system with unvented when more than 1 bath or shower is fitted. What’s the point of having 2 showers if they cannot be used at the same time.

No but it's not best practice to fit a system with unvented when more than 1 bath or shower.

Best practice would be to install a system that meets the requirements of the customers and THEIR future needs.

And that is quite clearly what my post said.

uh oh what have I started lol

To answer the questions
There's 2 people living in the property
It was the customer who suggested a combi.

 

[armyash]

what about keeping the current cylinder and putting in a boiler for the rads?

 

[armyash]

We've just had a chat and he is adamant the vogue will be fine but said if i'm unsure then we will stick with unvented.

 

[Sharp Point]

thanks for the replies, we'll have a chat tomorrow and see whats best. Unvented would probably be the best option. i'll see if the customer would be prepared to stick with unvented.

If she’s all electric, the unvented maybe/ probably a direct cylinder... so staying with it and using a boiler is a no goer.

If she’s all electric

"She's Electric"........

"She's Electric".

She’s got a family full of eccentrics

Did you get the job @armyash

 

[Scott_D]

Thought I would add to this thread

Just lost a job
BB and old system removed
New heating system with 5 rads and a duel fuel towel rail
Ecotec pro 28 with filter, lime fighter, shock arrester and VSmart controller
£5000

They have gone with someone fitting a WB30i and 10 years warranty for cheaper.

Most full system's here are about 3500 quid.

Very rarely bother with them not an earner

Really?

 

[hammers4spanner]

Yep complete dead wood here doing those jobs, firms here pay boys bottom dollar to slam them in. Reps have the fave firms as well so some pay half price on boilers

There would give about £500 for labour

Not when they get boilers half price along with controls

I was doing duotec full install for under 4k and made over a grand on each easily.

Full system from scratch would be heat pump territory for me
