Hi all,

Moving to a house and I need to replace the existing oil boiler which is currently located in the house.

House: 4 bedrooms detached (2 doubles & 2 singles). Not a big house though, around 120 sq m. 2 floors with guest toilet. en-suite and family bathroom.

Options:

1- moving the boiler outside, zoning the system for hot water and heating the house, full automatic,(programmer, motorising valves, room thermostat). i will also supply and heat the radiator in the garage, fit thermostatic valves to all radiators, replace the water cylinder and supply and fit water pump for the shower. Quote: 2.7k EUR.

2-
supplying and fit a new high efficiency Firebird 26 kilowatts combi boiler ( you will have instant hot water and control over the heating). I will fit a buster pump which will pressurize all water in the house. I will supply and fit the radiator in the garage, fit thermostatic valves on all the radiators, supply and fit time programmer. Quote: 3.9k EUR.

Which option would be most suitable for this house?
 
Combi boiler (26 kilowatts + booster pump) or conventional oil boiler? Please...

Option one but seems far to cheap if replacing cylinder also. I'd steer clear of a combi if you can

Wouldnt ecen consider the job if you were doing any plumbing what so ever

Why would you pressurise the water in the house if you were fitting a combi, it should be fed off the mains, unless themains is not man enough.
