Default Which CH Boiler .

I am getting estimates for either a replacement boiler or a replacement system
and am getting more confused with each contractor .One ,at least, won't put a
new boiler on my current system even with flushing and others will ( with
flushing) , the reason being that there might be hidden leaks but other than the
manifold and the valves there are no joins ..I know this for a fact .

Other than that one said he would install a Worcester-Bosch Junior 28i but the
one who called today said that was a pretty basic boiler intended for smaller
flats and maybe only just sufficient for my flat size....
....2 d/bedrooms,lounge,kitchen and bathroom and hall ...all,except
bathroom...with high ceilings ...He recommended the Glowworm 24 cxi .

which is lower output than the w-b, and both are vastly more than you need
for heating the place. Go read ed's boilerchoice FAQ and google's archive

I did read the faq previously and very informative it is .

This is actually the boiler the second guy meant .The Flexicom cx24
http://www.glow-worm.co.uk/catalogsi...it=flexicomcx1

I completed a Boiler Choice chart earlier on the WB site and it seeemed to
suggest that the Greenstar 25 CDi was appropriate for my accommodation with the
Juniors 24i and 28i and the 25Si being alternatives .
