I'm considering changing our current Conventional/Regular Gas boiler, to a Combi.
The main reason for doing this, is so that I can run a more effiecent shower.
eg: With a better temparture control, combined with a better flow rate.

But in order to get a combi with a good hotwater temprature/flow rate, it seems that you have go for a boiler with a higher heating output, than you may otherwise choose.
So is likely to cause any problem?

Can anyone recomend a suitable boiler?
We just have a conventional 2 bed semi, so we dont need a central heating boiler with a huge output.
Our current regular gas boiler, is a: worcester Greenstar Ri (Ri18) (eg: 18KW)

And the recommended shower flow rate seems to be 12 to 15 litres per min, so approaching 15 litres would be desirable.

Many thanks
