We're having some extension work done and it involves replacing the boiler
and moving the bathroom.
A guy recommended having a Potterton Suprema 100k BTU boiler on the garage
wall with a Megaflow next to it and therefore saving space in the house.

Any views on either of these? Or alternatives? Or of having boiler/cylinder
in a garage?


The garage might well be fine for the space to put the equipment.

There are cheaper alternatives to the Megaflow which work as well
if not better [Albion, Santon]. Megaflow are the leading brand.
Most of the other makes have a seperate expansion vessel external to the
tank which usual fits on top quite neatly.

The boiler is subject to electronic problems. Other makes and models might
have greater reliability and condensing models greater efficiency aswell.
