Bleeding radiators... no but seriously, a new boiler

[OwlHoot]

Not a problem. I'll be visiting tonight anyway. I shall post the model number later.

Many thanks! The front door key is in one of the strawberry pots

Worcester all the way - they just work!

Let the engineer size up the radiators etc and assess the correct one.

One thing - they needed to install a new gas pipe to the boiler from the mains as new boilers need a much wider mains feed pipe as they blast in gas at a greater pressure which makes them more efficient.

I always struggle with getting two showers to work at once

and the plumber said we have 12 bar coming in....

does a system with this many showers need to be gravity fed?

Need to replace my 30 year old boiler. 18 rads in the house and 5 showers so need a decent boiler and might as well get some nice gadgets for fun.

Am looking at something like the Vaillant 418 with their vSmart remote control tech. Boiler is around £850 then fitting etc on top, hopefully all for under £2k.

Anyone here been through a boiler selection process recently and can advise?

Wouldn't you be better off getting a single heavy duty boiler for the whole house, rather than a separate one for the annex?

It's a combo boiler

Downstairs shower is just direct from the pipes upstairs one is an electric one

not gravity fed - boiler is downstairs

depends on the flow rate of the boiler , is the garden tap or kitchen tap high pressure

electric showers are shi*e anyway

Well this is it - plumber says we have 12 bar coming into the house so cannot put a pump on it to increase pressure but as soon as you turn on any tap whilst shower is on shower loses power...

oh well thinking of getting a gravity fed tank to sort out upstairs shower
