Potterton HE StorePresuming 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.
That's not a combi though is it? Once hot water runs out you have to wait for the integral cylinder to regenerate. There's no plate heat ex for on demand heating.Potterton HE Store
Well all you can do is tell them the full options and let them decide, also get it in writing. If they proceed for a wall hung version and complain about the disruption, you can just say you did warn them. Other than that, if your getting bad vibes, just walk away.they want to put new boiler in as boiler is really old at the moment keeps breaking down
i have said that but i just dont think they have fully thought about the disruption
No different to the floor standing Worcester.That's not a combi though is it? Once hot water runs out you have to wait for the integral cylinder to regenerate. There's no plate heat ex for on demand heating.
Yes but it still isn’t classed as a combi.does the worcester not have a plate heat exchange ?
Bit of a difference, once the store in the Worcester runs out, you still have hot water on demand through the plate, just as a reduced flow rate. The poterton is just a boiler with a built in cylinder, when the waters gone it's gone.No different to the floor standing Worcester.
True but the Baxi does almost the same job and is a lot less. The op was asking for options. I have an Potterton he store and never ran out of hot water. I only have it set an hour in the morning and 1.5 in the late afternoon.Bit of a difference, once the store in the Worcester runs out, you still have hot water on demand through the plate, just as a reduced flow rate.

I have had the same problem too.
Worcester have a monopoly on floor standing boilers. They can overcharge and give low warranties.
Very frustrating
Yep, not arguing with that. Admittedly I didnt mention the potterton due to the height of it but I was assuming that op needed a boiler to fit under a kitchen worktop. After reading back I'm not sure how I came to that conclusion as he doesn't mention it anywhereTrue but the Baxi does almost the same job and is a lot less. The op was asking for options.
