Plumbers Sussex: Limitations
Plumbing Sussex - Although ideal for low occupant, 1 bathroom properties with the required mains pressure, combination boilers have limitations. They are not suitable for high occupant, 1 bathroom en-suite or 2 bathroom properties. They are at there limit in a 3-4 bed, 1 bathroom property, though there are scenario's where special niche models can be used. These niche models are combination boilers with a small water storage capacity, they are designed for 4 bed, 1bathroom en-suite properties as they can power two shower simultaneously.Some properties cannot have combination boilers as the water pressure and flow rates are insufficient. - Plumbing Sussex.
Plumbers Sussex: To be sure that a combination boiler is suitable for your property, both the static pressure and working pressure of the main must be tested, and the flow rate of the main measured. These simple tests will prevent any costly incorrect installations. - Plumbers Brighton.
Plumbing Sussex: Sizing Suitability
Plumbing Brighton - Regardless of manufacturer, combination boilers come in varying kilowatt outputs that deliver differing flow rates. As a rule of thumb, depending on size and occupancy of the property, certain outputs are more suitable to certain properties.
Plumbing Sussex - A 24kw combi is ideal for a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom flat or Bungalow, where as a 31kw is the minimum for a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom house. A 37-38kw combi is for those 1 bathroom properties that need higher hot water flow rates, eg better showers. If your property has 4 bedrooms with a bathroom and an en-suite then a combination boiler with a stored water facility could be ideal, but further tests and inspections would be needed. - Plumbers Brighton.
