Today I sat and watched how the boiler operates and I have this question.
If the burner is very strong then it will switch itself off by its own thermostat even though the CH and HW are still on.
If the burner is not strong enough it will not be able to provide enough heat to the whole system.
Would it matter if we install a very strong burner so that it switches itself off frequently and spends half its time being off (even though both the CH/HW are on) ? Or would it be more gas efficient for the burner to be smaller and stay on all the time ?
 
You can not do unauthorised modifications to a gas appliance and you must be competent and GSR registered to do this work.
 
Andy,

Please watch the washing machine go around instead, stay away from the boiler, please.
 
His question is "is it better to have a bigger boiler or smaller boiler" dont need to be gas safe for that!!!

Problem is that it aint that simple
 
thread closed !!!!!!

please discuss topic with your gas safe registered installer directly.
