Hi all again,
Another different query to see where the votes go.
Customer has a Potterton Suprima 40 boiler and Gledhill Boilermate 3 to be replaced.
Property detached 3 bed with main bathroom & en-suite shower.
Occupied by retired couple.
They are looking to replace the kitchen around the same time.
I have suggested that as they want an efficient, reliable boiler, that ripping out the Potterton & fitting a Logic+ 30kw or Vogue C32 combi with associated Ideal Rf programmable timer/stat with weather comp which both have long guarantee's on all fittings that this is the best way forwards for them.
The only issue I see is the placement of the boiler.
I can either fit in the kitchen in which case the Logic+ would fit inside a cupboard & the Vogue would be visible but as it's pleasing on the eye is not a big deal to me or alternatively fit in the airing cupboard where the boilermate 3 lives.
Again no problems with either as I will be upgrading the supply pipe to either option & flueing out through the wall.
The pro's of the airing cupboard is that all the pipes are there & readily accessible bar the gas supply and condensate pipe run and it will minimise disruption if the work is to be carried out prior to the kitchen fit. Access for servicing will be good as well with the boiler & magnaclean system filter being readily accessible as well. Also for the kitchen it will free up another cupboard.
For the kitchen it's pro's are that the boiler is about 4ft away from the sink and that the existing flow & return are already there. For condensate waste disposal it is a simple job to connect into existing waste.
If boiler change at same time as kitchen work then pipes can disappear behind tiling.
Pricing between the Logic+ & Vogue is about £200 but you get the extra 3 yrs warranty on the Vogue for that.
Cant think of anything else but would welcome any advice/comments.
Thanks,
Andy
