    Choosing the right boiler - somewhere between 18kw and 42kw depending on where I look.....

    I think a 30 kw system boiler will be perfect , your original thought of 3kw per rad is way off as many rads you'll find might below 1kw but depends on size and single or double , I was always taught to allow 13kw for hot water but I was using a boiler calculater this morning ( The energy...

    Boiler plus load compensation?

    Load compensation means that the temperature of the hot water going to your radiators is adjusted in keeping with the room temperature. With this feature, when a room is cold the temperature of the hot water going to the radiator is high, but as the room warms up the temperature is lowered so...

    Scummy F+E tank in a tiny kind of loft space.

    It's simply more control , at the moment many of them are optional extras whereas now they will have to use at least 1 or more,,, If u ask me sticking 1 room stat in a room and trying to control an entire house with thermostatic rad valves that are nowhere near accurate enough is bad...
