Hi All,
I just wrote a long post and then suddenly lost it when it came up to submit it .. :disappointed:
So here goes again, but a lite version incase it happens again and I can add some more info mid way :wink5:
I've had several people come and look at my current boiler and I am looking to get a new one, including a powerflush prior to a new kitchen being fitted.
House is a 1930s End of terrace property wih 7 rads and 1 towel rad. Currently boiler is an ancient 20 yr Potterton.
Flowrate of house is 20l/min near the stopcock tested at the external hose pipe and 9.5l/min at the kitchen sink.
I have been suggested by different fitters as follows:
1) British Gas - Worcester Si Compant 30 KW - 12.3l/min (10 year warranty as long as I go with Homeserve 200) - £4.1k + (£15-18per month after year 1)
2) Independent - Vaillant Plus 831 24KW - 12.7l/min (7yr warranty) - £3.5k
3) Independent - Ideal Vogue Logic Plus 40 KW - 16.4l/min - £3.7k - (5yr warranty)
Questions I have are:
1)flowrate, eventhough my cold water flow is 20l/min, what realistically would my flowrate be for HW and CH and should I think about having the higher flowrate of the Ideal?
2)warranty, because I will be having a power flush, does the varying warranty matter?
3)boiler, I know each engineer has a preference and pretty much the models above were suggested are these all on par, do people have a preference?
4)loft conversion, looking at future proofing, will these be okay if an en suite is to be added at a later date?
I think that's it for now :wink5:
Thanks in advance! I can provide more info if necessary!
