Combis - no backup

Sep 17, 2004 76 Replies

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Well move out of the third world.

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)

And you should be shot for inappropriate use of apostrophes

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

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

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

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.
