Heat only boiler to combi upgrade

[ash121]

Hi all,

Looking for some advice, moved into a detached house which has 4 bedrooms, 1 bath and an electric shower, 14 rads in total.

The current setup which i have no idea how it works, has a heat only boiler which looks quite old and a cylinder in the bedroom cupboard, pics attached

I've had a few quotes, and it has been suggested to rip out the old system and fit an ideal vogue c40 combi boiler which has a flow rate of 16.4 Ltr/min

Will this boiler be more than adequate to do the job? Or is it too big for the house?

I would appreciate your advice

Cheers

Yes. All of these things are relocatable in 95% of cases. Your limit is your budget.

Apologies i thought it was something separate that would connect to the boiler

No it’s one huge boiler with a small water store built into it

Well I say huge it’s not but it’s a damn site bigger than a normal boiler

Haha no worries, thanks for all your help and advice and others, will buy a flow gauge and report back on the flow rate

Easy way to test how long to fill a 1l bottle for 16lpm your looking for around 4 seconds maximum
