Hello
Current status: We have an ancient boiler/heating system in our converted Edwardian house. It needs replacing. We currently are a first floor flat in a converted house and have been informed we have shared supply of water and measures outside of property are 3.5 bar and 25pm. However at kitchen sink its down to 15pm
Our downstairs neighbours have a combi boiler.
We currently have 1 bathroom but next year hope to go a loft conversion and thus will have a second shower in loft. There is chances that both showers would be run at same time.
(can answer more if needed).
Weve had such mixed suggestions with one company saying Megaflow, however I understand from other companies we dont have the required flow?
Others have said Combi but that to ensure future proofing ie when 2nd shower comes along we would need Thames water to fit our own water supply.
None have mentioned conventional system so is that a viable option? We really dont want the big cylinder thing we currently have in bathroom to be there anymore though
Basically we need something doing asap and thus cannot really wait for Thames water as we understand that part of things could take months.
Please can you help? Would a combi now be fine for our 1 shower using existing supply and then get personal water supply installed at same time as loft is done and thus up the supply later? OR would conventional now save us in long run as wouldnt need our own supply?
Thanks in advance
