Boiler and Hot Water Cylinder

Adam2762

Hello


Current house is a 4 bed detached with radiator heating and a combi bolier - a Worcester Greenstar Highflow 440 fitted in 2007. Boiler is working fine.


We are in the middle of having a significant extension on the ground floor - 70 to 80 sq m of new space. Extension will have underfloor heating. We are also having underfloor fitted in the existing kitchen.


Plumber has proposed moving to a unvented pressurised cylinder system as we have a number of bathrooms. This also means a new boiler and a Worcester Greenstar 24ri has been proposed.


I'd be really grateful for some advice:


1) My research suggests the new boiler has a lower output than the old one - is this sensible?


2) Quote received is for supply and fit boiler, supply and fit 300 litre unvented pressurised cylinder, connect up under floor system and join to existing heating and hot water system. Supply and fit new 22mm water main pipework to boiler from stop tap. £3,850. Is this in the right ball park? We live in Rugby.


3) Would the existing boiler have any resale value i.e. e-bay?


Thanks


Adam

Your old boiler is sized for hot water flow rate as its a combi, the new one will be sized for the heating requirements which hopefully your RGI has worked out.

Price is there or there abouts

I doubt it you might get someone to buy it but whether they could get someone to install it is another matter
