Hi
In a previous thread I asked about alternatives to a Worcester Bosch
30CDi boiler. However, now I am unsure whether 30kW is overspec'd. I used the boiler calculator here:However, the house is quite cold and the rads never get very hot. My plumber suggests a 30kW boiler as that will ensure ample power and allow for more rads if I extend the house (which is unlikely).
So I was happy to go with 30kW and accept the =A380 or so extra cost. However, I have just read that condensing boilers don't condense, and therefore are less efficient, if run below their capacity. If this is true, overspec'ing would not be a good idea.
Please will anyone comment on whether overspec'ing a condensing system boiler is a good or bad idea?
Best regards
David
