He should be able to do that also.I have but thats for a combi not to upgrade the current setup
He was insistent on a combi change!He should be able to do that also.
More than double your quoteDefinitely gas registered, how much would you have expected it to cost to convert to combi? Labour and parts?
I hope no corners are cut!

Your initial proposal is probably tolerable should you stick with the electric shower. However it’s overkill size wise fitting a boiler like that when your heat requirement is probably less than half the boilers capability plus you will get a much more satisfying shower or showers should you go down that route from an unvented cylinder (supplies allowing)
The boiler can be range rated accordingly. But let’s not kid ourselves you are getting it for the hot water supply correct? You don’t know that your incoming mains pressure and flow are adequate to supply the boiler with what it needs. The thing with that is if it is adequate then why would you want a drop-in flow every time someone opens up a second outlet which is exactly what will happen with a combi boiler. This is where these high kilowattage combi boilers are a difficult decision. You would get one pretty good shower to outlets open is never going to happen
I agree with the above mate. I don’t like the idea of a combi in a 4 bed.
Not so much a combi in a 4 bed as I believe there are times it's acceptable to install a combi in a house that size. I know I'm in the minority on thinking that as we've been down that conversation before a couple of times.
Reason I dont really like them is because people think they are suitable for running 2 bathrooms at the same time. If you have 2 bathrooms and want to use them at the same time then get an unvented if you dont want to use them both at the same time then get a 30-35kw boiler.
I know I’m playing devil‘s advocate but what’s the point in buying a house with two bathrooms if you’re never going to use them both you might as well have bought somewhere smaller, I know that’s not the point in question but you seem to be trying to use every argument to justify a combi boiler when we are giving you the honest opinion that it’s not the best answer for your property. I realise your mate is giving you a good deal on it but don’t undersell your home for the sake of saving a few quid as you may find you’ll be ripping it all out and changing it in the future
Seal your heating system - f&e tank goes
Install an unvented cylinder - cold water storage tank goes
