Title: boilers
Post by: pauls on 07 January 2017, 13:08:14

Any builders/plumbers .. Iam looking at buying a house and it needs to have gas central heating installed. I have worked out that it will need 10x 600x1000 5700btu plus 2 towel rads.

My question is any idea on what boiler size i need it will also run the hot water but not the showers.

P.s i work at screwfix so will hopefully buy everything from them with my staff discount. Unless cheaper from a plumbers merchant etc

28 -34 Kw   should do nicely  . . .  with a bit to spare ;)

Are you having a hot water cylinder or will you be fitting a combination boiler?

A combination boiler big enough to fill a bath in a sensible time almost always has capacity to spare for the radiators.

If you have a cylinder then just size the boiler on the sum of the radiator output.

(and if you can stick to one set of units it makes the sums easier)

I have a vaillant eco tech combi, 33kW I think, we run 10 rads off it and it fills the bath in about 10 mins.
