Hello everyone, i'm new to this site and although I am in the building trade I am not a heating engineer. I could do with some help/ideas with my central heating in my house and future boiler change. When we moved into our house 12 months ago we had 8 & 10mm microbore for all the rads, I have since ripped all of this out and replaced with 22 & 15 throughout and changed all the rads for new inc trv's.
What I would like to know is what size/model boiler I need to replace as this was the one thing I didn't replace at the time as it is still working. I have at present a working 11 year old Vaillant 828e Turbomax combi, the house is around 1300 sq feet with 13 rads, 2 cloakrooms, one ensuite, one bathroom, one utility. 6 sinks in all, 2 showers, one medium bath.
On the Vaillant site, it says I need a ecotec 838 exclusive or 838 plus, if I was to keep it a combi. But the little research I have done suggests that a Vaillant 937 storage combi would probably be better, what do you lot think?? I know that the perfect plan would be to change to a system boiler with megaflo or equiv but I would prefer for a straight forward swap over if possible and not the added expense of a pressurised cylinder. I just think that the boiler installed at present is underpowered and not very efficient, am I right in thinking that??
Sorry for the essay, love any ideas/help.
