Are you replacing a condensing boiler with a combi boiler or like for like?

We went with the prior to get the tank space but found we had problems with the old pipework for the following year while it all settled down and adjusted to the new pressures but all sorted now and running fine.

We have a three bed semi with a family bathroom and went for a Worcester Bosch I25 Greenstar, in hindsight we should have gone for the I30 as it struggles to fill kitchen sink while the bath/shower is running. One tap will “steal” the majority of the flow leaving the other more like a stream.

I think that's true of most combi boilers. we have a 4 bed with 2 bathrooms, and shout down when taking a shower, so no one downstairs uses the water or flushes the loo.
The Worcester is doing fine and 15 years old, but when replacement time comes, we will go for a pressurised system to avoid pressure loss

Just bought a Glowworm boiler today as my old Halstead has about breathed its last.
Glow ultimate 3 30 kw with remote stat and flue and a full parts and labour 10 year warranty.
£685+ Vat.
I need a filter and 2 thermastatic rad valves ,so another £100 And 400 for labour for fitting.

Hopefully this should be excellent as its 10KW More power than the old one
