Default Boiler recommendation fro 5 bedroom house

3 showers, 2 baths and 6 sinks.


Despite what some may claim, instant water heaters, of the sort one
sees in houses, won't run all of this lot. What you need is a stored
hot water system, probably with a fairly large amount of storage.

The number of cylinders, their location and their size depends on
the precise layout of all the outlets and the house. An instant
heating setup may be suitable for feeding a few sinks near the
boiler, in which case one cylinder elsewhere may be sufficient.

Consider a thermal store as well.
