Its a very large house i thought about banking a couple of 24ri s but thatll be well over and the customer whats the boiler to go back in the same place.
Ive just replaced all the rads as they were original from the early 70s the boiler thats currently in there a suprima 100 is kicking out 29.97kw but only giving a flow temp of 60 degs on full chat after an hour or so.

Needs to be wall hung if possible

 

[lame plumber]

by replacing old rads with new you have probably upped their output considerably now that modern rads are finned and very efficient, you need to work out the total output of all the rads you have installed then see what size boiler(s) you need or you may just end up with the same problem again. bank up a couple of intergas 24s maybe on a llh to ensure they work properly.

The customer was warned that this would be an issue at quoting stage as I did the heat calcs and sized the rads so I need 37kw Inc the cylinder as per my orignal post if I have to put 2 boilers in I'll have to roll with the ri don't like the sound intergas never herd of them.

 

[Richie_77]

WB do the 40 cdi it's got a bit of a price tag though will have to go with that.

 

[Reg Man]

Calculate size of boiler using whole house heat loss method.

 

[Roger Welton]

Remeha Quinta, Worcester GB162, Veismann 200 series, Vailant ECOtec 46 or 65. Loads to choose from.

[lame plumber]

sadly inter are raising their prices in June after 4 years of constant pricing

 

[Nostrum]

That's because I heard they have now fitted over 50 boilers in the uk.

:devil2:

 

[lame plumber]

la la la la la la lal la la la la, not listening la la la

 

[plumber0808]

I must be there biggest installer then

 

[Nostrum]

I'd be on the course if I could get a response and didn't have to travel miles to attend it. Plus I'm not sure what the customer would say when I'm hanging the boiler equivalent of a Commodore 64 on the wall, looks shocking.

still interesting concept though and would like to see one in action.

 

[lame plumber]

intergas are very choosy about who they train

 

[Nostrum]

Did you wear a disguise then?

 

[lame plumber]

I'm so good I just got sent the cerificate in the post

Nobody peed me of it was the "you need the culcalate your loses" comments N F S the clue was in the 37kw bit congrats to the people who spotted this and then recommended decent boilers was just looking for feed back that's all

 

[lame plumber]

I went for 2 smaller boilers to give redundancy, flexability and reliability rather vthan running 1 big boiler inefficiently for 1/2 the year when heating is off.

 

[R1CKY]

Another vote for the Worcester CDI. Really good boilers IMO.

 

[arran197]

Can I just ask why you say no system boilers? Is it because they're a sealed system?
