The Vaillant ecoTEC Plus 832 is a high efficiency combination boiler that is ideal for a two or three bedroom home with 1 bathroom and an en-suite. It is has a A rated efficiency rating for both hot water and heating.

An average three or four bedroom house typically has around ten radiators and will usually require a small or medium combi boiler, for example 24-30 kW. A larger house with substantially more radiators or an en-suite bathroom will generally need one that is larger, typically 30-35 kW.

Oversized boilers ‘cycle’ on and off excessively, i.e. they heat up too quickly, run for short blasts and then turn off because they are too hot. Each fire up is something close to full capacity which dumps a huge amount of heat into the system and overheats the radiators.

never put more than 1 radiator in a single loop. You can make as many loops as you want but just follow that rule and you should be fine.

For a medium to large 3-4 bedroom house with up to 15 average size radiators, 1 bathroom and an ensuite* bathroom, a 28-34kw Combi Boiler would be installed. A 35kw and a 42kw Combi boiler would be for a large house with anything up to 20 average size radiators and 2 bathrooms*.

For example, in zone 3 to 4, which typically requires 40-45 BTU per square feet, you can determine that a 2,500 square foot home would need a 100,000 to 112,000 BTU furnace.

10 radiators

Radiators were invented to do a job of work, to keep a room as warm as possible. For standard sized and large rooms, double panel radiators are by far the most efficient. Single panel radiators emit less heat because they have less surface area for the heat to come from.

As a guide, combi boilers between 24 and 27kW can power up to 10 radiators, while a 24kW heat only or system model can heat up to 15 radiators.

Up to 10 radiators: 24–27 kW. 10 to 15 radiators: 28–34 kW. 15 to 20 radiators: 32–40 kW. Up to 10 radiators: 12–15 kW.

My naive assumption would be that the larger boiler would be better on the coldest days while the smaller boiler would be better the rest of the time. Therefore, if you expect few “design days,” slightly smaller is better than slightly bigger. Conversely, if you expect many design days, slightly bigger is better.

As an example, if you have a 2,000-square-foot house in a moderate climate, you need a boiler that can produce approximately 70,000 BTUs.

The Viessmann Vitodens 100-W is the best boiler for a 5 bedroom house. While you would be better suited with a system or regular boiler, there are some other powerful Combi boilers on the market that you might want to consider, such as the Worcester Bosch Greenstar 8000 combi boiler.

If you have 5 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, then a 24kW combi boiler will suffice. If you have 4 beds and 3 bathrooms, as is the case in many new build homes, then you will need a bigger combi, particularly if you have showers in use at the same time.

Geothermal systems provide the most efficient type of heating. They can cut heating bills by up to 70 percent. Like other types of heat pumps, they are also very safe and environmentally friendly to operate.

A gas fuelled central heating system will more than likely be cheaper in the long run. Electric boilers are 100% efficient whereas a good modern gas boiler will see about 95% efficiency.

The 7 Cheapest Ways To Heat A Home

• Buy an energy-efficient space heater.
• Buy a smart thermostat.
• Use credit cards to pay your utility bills.
• Sign up for budget billing.
• Insulate your attic.
• Invest in warm clothing.
• Consider installing solar panels.
• Summary.

For most of us, the cheapest heating system is going to be mains gas fuelled. If you’re living off the grid, LPG is the most cost effective heating option. If you take full advantage of Economy 7 electricity tariffs, you may be able to match LPG systems in running costs.

Of the four main fuels used to heat US homes, natural gas is the most popular and now the cheapest, as well. A decade ago, gas cost about 80 percent of an equivalent amount of oil; it now costs less than half of oil, as oil prices have risen and America’s boom in natural gas drilling has kept gas prices low.
