I know it is thrilling, but I have to make a decision about what CH system to put in. I've had 3 plumbers tell me 3 different things and give me very different costs. The house is large end terrace, 3 beds, will have 1 bathroom (shower and bath). Eventually will likely have another shower room and would like to future proof for this. I want lots of hot water. DH and I take long showers to get away from our small children. Eventually we will have teenagers who take long showers. Whilst taking these long showers I don't want the water pressure and temperature to go all funny because someone flushes a toilet or turns on the washing machine or dishwasher. I don't want to run out of hot water because DH nipped into the shower before me.
I don't want an electric shower. We have one in the annex for emergencies when boiler breaks down.
Currently we have an old, closed system with conventional boiler with HW tank in our bedroom and cold storage in the loft. The boiler and the HW tank have to be moved no matter what system we choose. I am creating a cupboard for the boiler / tank / water softener - so space / size isn't too much of an issue.
Water flow is good from both hot and cold bath taps (28 L / min). Pressure is good.
Is a storage combi boiler the answer? Anyone have one and can report? Is a conventional boiler with a megaflo system what I want? I am so overwhelmed with expensive choices I can't get my head around it all!
Any help, experiences, other options are gratefully received.
