floor standing boiler

[Jamie]

need to replace a floor standing boiler 30kw or above only boiler i can see is a Worcester and its over 2k to buy

im gas safe etc just wondering if any of you know of any boilers ????

thanks folks

 

[Jamie]

sorry i should have said combi boiler

Does it have to be floor standing?

 

[Riley]

Yes why floor standing?? You’ll get ample kw with a normal wall hung boiler

 

[Jamie]

its an old property with original features and going to cause alot of disturbance cutting and boring wall hung is final option but really dont want to turn the sweey old ladys house upside down

 

[Jamie]

only manufacturer i see is Worcester but boiler is like 2300

Don’t see how a wall hung is any different to a floor standing other than being wall mounted

Mount it on a uni strut wall

 

[Aire]

Presuming it's gas and not oil I think Worcester is your only option. Viessmann do the vitodens 222-f which is a floor standing combi but it's 1600mm tall and costs nearly 3k. Don't think you have much choice.

thanks craig im thinking the same was surprised the was none on the internet

its a hard one to say but customer is selling there home and i have explained the disruption that its going to cause in the kitchen moving it a few meters but as you engineers will know a customer wants there home looking like it did before you went in and i just know that its going to be problematic moving it

its just one of those gut feeling ones you know the feeling you get haha

 

[Aire]

Just be honest, tell your customer that gas fired floor standing combis are in short supply. Say you can do it but it will cost X or a cheaper wall hung will cost Y but will involve more disruption.

What do they have currently and if they're selling is there a reason why they're upgrading the boiler?
