Combis - no backup

[Ed Sirett]

I think that you may have missed the irony somewhere.

The backup options or lack of them is _a_ point to take into consideration when deciding what heating system to install.

[IMM]

Backup for a whole heating system? better get an integrated heat bank with about three immersion bosses for high performance immersions.

If you read the thread adequate backup was given.

[IMM]

Unless you are in the middle of the country supplied by poles, gas and power outages are rare to most people. The only downtime is generally the boiler itself.

[IMM]

In a two floor house made entirely with SIPs? yes. But the fools at building control want them. Now you know.

[Andy Hall]

Presumably you know more about this than qualified BCOs and structural engineers......

You'd be surprised. They are remarkably frequent.

I seem to recall that tents survived equally well.

Just 6 times a year in a town area.

I doubt if Kobe had many tent erected at the time.

[IMM]

Well move out of the third world.

[IMM]

Probably, as most have seen one.

If you had a proper old system, you'd have a kettle on the hearth and fill the bath in the living room from it

So you actually like the worcs 28i Junior then ?

Good value is when you get one free (and get paid £200 for doing it)

you're forrin aren't you - that's why you tango

[raden]

C'mon Ed, you can't go around exposing obvious flaws in DIMM's arguments

it's just not fair

BTW, do you have any "coalface" experience of the Worcs 28i Junior as a decent boiler?

DIMM would run it on hot air

[IMM]

Maxie, is your sweetheart Dimm Lin the luscious far eastern lovely, into air that is hot?

[IMM]

Reports back from what I have gathered is that it is a good runner. It is early days yet for any long term problems to show up. It is simple with no

3-way valve. It has a turbine flow switch that gives the precise amount of flow to the pcb. This is the only component that may be suspect, but that is only a guess. Overall a good one so far.
