Options for heating & hot water (again)
I live in a second floor, 2 bed flat with very good cold water
pressure. There is a combi boiler in the flat which is used for thermostatically controlled central heating and all hot water, including shower & bath. The water pressure in the shower is too low when the temperature is hot & filling the bath takes too long. The combi wakens me up at night when the thermostat kicks in for the central heating and there is no option to move it. I would like to replace it with something else and wondered about a megaflo system. Can this drive central heating and hot water too? Is it a viable option? If not what would you recommend? Thanks in advance! |

Thanks in advance! Megaflow? Too expensive, and takes up valuable space and there are better alternatives for flats. Did the combi work OK? The boiler should not operate during the night if off by the time clock. It may have faulty frost protection bringing in the boiler. It sounds as if the combi is faulty. Get it seen to, then good showers. If you really want to have fast bath fills then get an Alpha CD50 high flowrate job. 3 year guarantee so well made. _________________________________________ Usenet Zone Free Binaries Usenet Server More than 120,000 groups Unlimited download http://www.usenetzone.com to open account |

Most people expect to wake up to a warm house in the winter. Which means the heating coming on while you're asleep. Of course perhaps you think a combi heats the house instantly as well as the water... -- *A day without sunshine is like... night. Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
