Hi all,
I'm currently in the process of replacing my ageing potterton conventional boiler with a combi.
We've had a couple of quotes but there's one company in particular who we're thinking of hiring to do the job.
We have a 4 bedroom house with a single bathroom and 11 radiators. This company have suggested we don't need anything more than a Worcester Bosch 30i because they've measured our water pressure and it's only 10-11 litres per minute.
In the near future, we may build an ensuite to our loft room and extend our living room which could result in an additional shower (probably electric) and 3 additional radiators to take our total to 14. Despite all of this, the plumber says a 30i is more than enough because any boiler we buy will be limited by the power (or lack of) of our water pressure.
I called up both Boxt and Hometree who over the phone said there's no way that a 30i was enough for my needs and that I should go for at least a 34Cdi classic.
Now I'm completely confused. It's a big outlay for me and I don't want to have to change my boiler again in 5 years time - so should I trust the plumber who has great checkatrade ratings and has actually measured my water pressure or should I play it safe and go for something like a 34 Cdi classic?
