    I wouldn't be considering an Ideal for starters...
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Ideal are now much, much, much better than the old ones. The horror stories you read on line are all for the old style. The new ones are completely the opposite.

    How long is the warranty? Some boiler manufacturers offer 7 years (10 on the heat exchanger)?

    I wouldn't touch an Ideal either, or a 24kw combi.

    You need a 28/30kw as a minimum as long as your cold mains flow is >12 litres/min
