About 500W.


I calculated 875W for a bathroom 1.2m x 2.4m, 9" brick walls
(two external), insulated ceiling, small double glazed window,
using the Myson calculator. In practice, the Myson calculator
seems to have over estimated throughout the whole house (it
was a beta version), although that has meant I can run the
boiler at only 45C once house has warmed up, making the
condensing boiler very efficient, so I'm not complaining.


I'm sure Myson aren't either ;-)
