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. Hmm...I hadn't thought to include that, I must confess, but there will be an insulated DHW tank in the airing cupboard, and an 'S Plan' system, and there will only be two of us when we move in, both elderly (in our 70's), and we're not fanatical about all-over washing on a daily basis! Our largeish 3 bedroom is heated by a conventional 18kw oil boiler. The house is not particularly well insulated. A combi would need to be larger to supply hot water for a bath. In the evening the sitting room is kept at 22C. -- Michael Chare --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |
