I am trying to calculate size of boiler for a 3 bed semi. Does anyone have a good site to do rad calcs. I have been on radcalcs.com, but want to compare with something else. Also, what allowances do i need to make for hot water heating? i think rads will be approx 50,000 btu but im not sure how to calculate hot water needs.

Forgive my ignorance, although i have been installing for several years, i was trained on job by old gaffer and we did alot of contracting work where calcs and spec were already sorted.....now im going it alone im trying to learn....and get things right!
 
Are you fitting a combi or cylinder
