Baxi 105e alternative

[Chris_t]

I have an 18 year old Baxi 105e which is becoming more and more unreliable therefore I've decided it's time for a change. The house is a well insulated modern bungalow. I'm considering changing to a Ideal Logic boiler. All the pipes to the boiler come from above due to the construction of the house therefore the existing boiler is mounted on a standoff. The flue is side mounted rather than rear mounted and the existing centreline to the flue is around 200mm from the rear wall. Is is one of the major advantage of going for the Ideal Logic as inclusive of standoff the centreline to the flue is 200mm, therefore greatly reducing the work required during installation. I guess my big question is, which size to go for, the C30 or the C35, I've been quoted both. would either be a satisfactory replacement? My main concern is underspecing the boiler. Anyone have any advice? There are 10 radiators on the system 2 off 1400x600 doubles, 1 off 1200x600 double, 1 off 1000x600 double, 1 off 800x600 double, 2 off 800x600 singles, 1 off 400x600 single and 2 off 1200x600 towel rails.

First if your going for a logic fit the max version
The output is rated for hot water all the logic boilers are 24kw to heating.
Looking at your rad count that should be fine.
Take advice from your installer!

Many thanks for the reply. Yes, that's what confused me, different installers quoted different boilers.

Thanks for the reply, I guess one of the big considerations for me was the position of the flue. As it is side mounted, installing a Baxi would mean having to move the flue position and it wouldn't be as simple as using a core drill due to the existing hole

Get them to use a 45 degree

Hi, many thanks, unfortunately the boiler is only around 6 inch from the side wall so there isn't enough space for a 45 degree bend

Don’t worry.
It is simple to re-drill a core hole near/ overlapping an existing one.

Oh, OK thanks for the advice
