You forgot the very good suggestion of just having 2 or 3 combis....... You know it makes sense :-) Quite right. Highly cost effective and gives a high flowrate and should always be considered. Two Worcester Juniors can be had for approx £1100, not far from he cost of one Highflow or one Vokera. Combined they will give approx 21 litres/min flowrate. They give natural zoning with no complex wiring or zone valves. One does upstairs CH One does the downstairs CH. each has its own programmer stat. A doddle to fit, a doddle to wire up, cheap, CH zoning, high flowrates and backup if one goes down. A win, win, all the way. Must be considered in these situations. |
