You say about a boiler "Use the manufacturer tables to ascertain power

a large bedroom. Do those figures include the doubling factor,

yes - that's includes padding.

Thanks. So a 20kW boiler will be just fine.


Plus hot water

I'd say 20kW will be too weedy.

I had a 12kw boiler in a 2000 sq ft house.

And all the hot water I could handle.
Mains pressure tank and decent insulation.
