combi boilers choice

[ShaunCorbs]

Unvented all day long combi won’t do the shower and drench together

Vaillant and as about the combi won't be sufficient if both showers where running same time.

What's your flow rate?

The baxi platinum is a great boiler ones I fitted years ago are still like new.

Not a big fan of ideal. Vaillant I had so many problems with the pumps packing up diverter leaking and pressure sensors playing up that I got put off them and tried baxi been with them ever since.

It is each to their own though ask 10 people get all sorts of answers.

What's your flow rate like as a lot of people ask me for a 40kw but they only have the flow rate for a 33kw.

3.5 bar on incoming main doesnt drop
60l/min

I’m always reluctant to fit 40kw combination boilers, my opinion is that if you need 40kw of hot water output then you’ve chosen the wrong system.

Biggest problem with high output is often the gas service isn’t big enough. Many houses have inserted 3/4 inch gas services and simply won’t provide the volume of gas required. So unless you want your drive digging or live in a newer house, lower output.

Depends what your looking for really, bother with all makes of boilers but if you fit a baxi duo-tec or 600 its 7 years warranty and the platinum is 10 years so you shouldn't really be back at it in a very long time. The Worcester requires there own filter and controller to allow 5 year warranty. as said in a couple o previous messages, fitted the baxi 636 and it is really really quiet. But your choice though
