Hi there,
I'm looking for some advice regarding a boiler upgrade. We live in a 4 bedroom largish house. 14 rads (6 doubles) and 2 thermostatic showers. We currently have an old gas boiler (ideal mexico - 1988) and hot water suplied form an old storage tank with a cold water tank in the loft. The system works but supply to the 2nd shower is pretty poor and the boiler is pretty expensive to run.
We're looking to change - but what to?
Had recommended the Glowworm Ultracom 35 store - 19l/min flow and the vaillant ecotech 937 - 15l/min flow and the alpha cd 50 (not sure of rate). Does anyone have experience of these boilers? Will this be enough to have 2 showers going at once?
Also one engineer thought we would be best going for a viessmann vitodens 222-f with 100l of storage or the glowworm ultrapower sxi which is a similar floor standing combi with up to 170l of storage. Not sure I need it to be honest but all thoughts would be welcome.
