Keen to get advice and opinion from the experts.
We currently have a 20yr old Gloworm Swiftflow combo which has served our 4 bed/ 17 radiator house very well. We want to replace it for 2 reasons - it is increasingly difficult to restart the pilot light on return from our 2 month absences and also we will be downsizing in a couple of years time and will need to replace for sale purposes.
We have had a good number of approved gassafe installers round and we had decided to go for a half decent boiler rather than a valliant or Worcester bosch- so we opted for the ideal logic 35plus. However we had a guy round tonight who said we didn't need a 35kw model and a 31 kw was more than needed and he could do a great deal on a valliant model which would be a bit more expensive but offered a 10 year guarantee against the 7 given by Ideal.
However he also mentioned the likely need to upgrade the piping from 22mm to 28mm. He is the first person to mention this but once he mentioned it I did think of the distance our Meyer is from the boiler - approx 15 metres.
Our needs revolve around 1 power shower/ 5ring gas hob and oven and as said we have 17 radiators.
So any advice/ opinions re all of the above would be appreciated.
