  1. Load Calculation & Sizing: Ensuring the Perfect Boiler Installation for Your Home Boilers aren't a one-size-fits-all solution — while they might look similar in their standard rectangular shapes, they have varying power outputs. That's why you first need to understand your home's specific heating needs before a boiler installation to maximise both comfort and energy efficiency. The right boiler size is determined based on various factors, such as your hot water demand and number of bedrooms and bathrooms. This article will help you navigate these considerations and help you pick the right appliance to keep your home warm while keeping your energy bills low. The importance of proper sizing A boiler that’s too large or too small will not only fail to meet your heating needs but also increase your expenses. The radiators won’t be able to heat showers or taps efficiently. You will end up

  2. with higher utility bills because an oversized boiler uses more gas than necessary while an undersized boiler forces your system to work harder. Either way, you'll be wasting energy and money. This is why correct boiler sizing is very important. What boiler size should you get? Your boiler size should depend on your home’s heating needs and hot water demand. If your home has one bathroom, for example, with 1-2 bedrooms and up to 10 radiators, a 20-25kW combi boiler should suffice. A home with 2-3 bathrooms, 3-5 bedrooms, and more than 10 radiators will likely need a 25- 30kW combi boiler. Meanwhile, a 35-43kW combi boiler may be more appropriate for homes with more than 3 bathrooms, 4+ bedrooms, and 20+ radiators. If you're using a boiler with a separate hot water tank, here are some size guidelines to keep in mind for your boiler installation: 9-11kW: 1 bathroom, 1-2 bedrooms, 0-10 radiators. 11-15kW: 2-3 bathrooms, 3-4 bedrooms, 10+ radiators. 15-30kW: More than 3 bathrooms, 4+ bedrooms, 20+ radiators.
