Suggest gas combi boiler

[Depo]

so ?????? its still very energy efferent that all what matters

But its not most energy efficient. The difference is 8.3% from your boilers kw output. It all adds up. I would also like a boiler with passive flue gas heat recovery +it to work in condensing mode for hot tap water as well, but that`s asking too much Then I would need to manufacture one myself.

Do you even know the flow rate at the main incoming?

No.

Combis are not the most efficient for under floor due to hot water priority causing temp to drop away.

I`ve read quite opposite. Because UFH requires much lower water temp, boiler works in condensing mode, which is very efficient.

What setup do you have at the moment?

Electric heaters and electric shower.

You need the the Ferroli Lamborghini boiler... If there no longer making that you need a Ravenheat...

you can pick a colour as well

Lambo not being made any more. Just checked Ferroli top boiler - Modena HE. Not impressed. 27kw uses 100w when burning. No w specified when idle. Also just 11.1L/min@35 isnt anything impressive. Noise level not specified at all. Doesn`t mention if heat exchanger is stainless steel or aluminum.

Ravenheat uses aluminum heat exchanger, not option for me, I only want best Worcester also uses aluminum only, every model.

ecotec plus and pro use the same internal components plastic to metal wise.

Vaillant tech rep told me this over the phone - Pro is cheaper because it uses more plastic parts rather than brass/copper.

Think maybe he just wanted you off the phone

The boiler you want doesn't exist, you'll have to compromise.

I want a car that seats 7, gives 90 mpg, does 0-60 in 4 secs, has 4WD, 25,000 mile service intervals, costs under £8k and offers a 7 yr unlimited mileage warranty.

All of those features are available. You just can't have them all in the same car.

My personal view is that you are misunderstanding the various claimed features of boilers. BOILERS don't have set efficiencies, except on a test rig. Its the INSTALLED SYSTEM that has an efficiency, and that depends on design, installation, commissioning, controls (both in terms of capability, but more importants user understanding) as well as a host of other issues - apart from the system.

If you will forgive me for saying so, this is a classic case of a little bit of knowledge being a dangerous thing.
