Just for information really. I've done the usual searches and found little about this specific combi boiler - certainly nothing on the worcester-bosch website (infuriatingly; I would have liked a PDF manual or similar). Even on uk.d-i-y there are only a few mentions, usually along the lines of "can I replace the PCB myself?"
Anyway... I presume this is a 28kW (input?) boiler. It is installed in a house which my sister and her husband are in the process of buying so I said I'd try to find out a bit about it. At the moment it runs radiators in 3 bedrooms, 3 reception rooms, hallway and a kitchen, and the usual complement of sinks. There is no bath - the previous (elderly) occupant had an "easy access" shower installed with an electric shower.
My sister and husband are planning some work, including refitting the bathroom (with a bath :-), and installing an en-suite with shower.
Questions:
1: Is this boiler going to be able to run a decent thermostatic mixer shower (assume the mains water is ok)?2: How about two showers (the children are growing...)?
3: How loud is this thing when operating? It is installed in one of the bedrooms unfortunately.4: No-one is going to suggest it would be best to rip it out and start again, are they? I'd say it was only 15 or 20 years old at most.
Thanks for any comments / advice.
Hwyl!
