What size boiler

Postby haulyfryn on Mon Jan 04, 2010 8:25 pm

Can anyone advise me as to the size of replacement boiler I need?

The output of my Vogel & Noot radiators is 27,805 BTU'S or 8165watts I have been using a 90,000BTU Grant Combi Boiler
which I believe is too big. I want to replace this with a smaller Condensing Boiler Combi. I have a det dormer bungalow timber frame construction the property is well insulated. I have a total of 14 radiators which do not need to get to full temperature before the thermostats cut in. Does anyone know what size I should be looking for?
Any help much appreciated.

While there are safety devices to prevent dangerous boiler operating conditions from turning into disasters, only proper maintenance can prevent dangerous boiler operating conditions from occurring. The only way one can be confident control or safety devices are functioning properly is to perform required maintenance, testing, and inspection regularly.

Regular inspection of boilers is the law--most often, governed by states, but in some cases, governed by municipalities and cities. Boilers must be examined by certified inspectors according to a mandated schedule. The day-to-day maintenance and servicing of boilers is the responsibility of building engineers, plant- and facility-maintenance managers, and/or building managers. It is important to note that most problems do not occur suddenly; instead, they develop slowly over a long period of time--so slowly, in fact, they often go unnoticed by maintenance personnel.

In addition to safety, regular boiler inspections are important to optimal function and energy efficiency. Boilers are high energy users--typically, second only to air-conditioning systems in annual energy use. Inefficient operation means wasted energy and increased costs.
