Not one but two boilers.........

Hi, I've been looking around at houses to buy and one place I viewed recently (that the wife is interested in) had a garage conversion and an extended en suite upstairs. What surprised me though was that the utility room then had 2 boilers presumably because the old one couldn't cope with the extra demand. This struck me as a bit odd - why not just replace the old boiler with a bigger model rather than have two smaller ones. It's not a particularly big house, I've lived in bigger that have been perfectly well serviced by one system, so why have a two boiler system? I can see advantages e.g. if one breaks down you'll still have some hot water/heating but being the suspicious type (especially when buying a house) I'm wondering if it's a bit dodgy - am I missing something? Cheers

When I asked my vendor why it was done that way, the answer was 'that's what the installer recommended'. Some people don't question what the 'expert' who is taking their money recommends, it seems.
