Which boiler for a 5 bedroomed semi?

[tomcubi]

Thanks in advance for your advice.
What boiler would you use for a 5 bedroomed semi-detached victorian property: 2 en-suite, 1 bathroom, gas hobs and gas central heating.
The price, as always is very important.
Glow-worm 35 cx?
Glowworm Xtramax HE combi?
Baxi boiler?
I am sure you'll come up with other models..

Thanks again

depends on your budget! if you've got the money and you are staying where you are for a considerable time consider a worcester bosch 440 floor standing boiler or a 42 cdi wall mounted. Rolls royce of boilers. I've fitted lots and end users are extremely satisfied- quite dear though!

That's a 24kW boiler.

In the past, unfortunately, boilers tended to be oversized. So the current boiler size is not an accurate guide to what you need. The best way of finding out is to use the Boiler Size Calculator.

Note that, as you have a semi, there is only one wall front to back.

The puma 80 is a combi boiler so is probably very undersized for the hot water requirements in a 5 bedroom semi.

For that manu hot outlets I would usually recommend an un-vented cylinder, but have a look at the Broag Avanta Plus 39c or maybe a storage combi.

If you have the funds, look at the ATAG Q51c

Sorry, that should have been (irony) potterton suprima (/irony)

A google of potterton suprima watchdog should reveal all.

THANK YOU ALL!
I'LL HAVE A LOOK AT THE MODELS YOU MENTIONED.
This is a place we'll rent out therefore I need to compromise on price.

 

[sooey]

Will you be compromising on the rent?

 

[tomcubi]

Because If I have to live in a 5 bed house I would probably want to install a megaflow system. While if renting it I'd go for a cheaper solution.
Thanks for asking
