I am purchasing a new property and installing a new hot water and heating system. There will be 6 small double bedrooms, 3 showers that may run at the same time as the kitchen and washing machine, the mains cold water supply will be from a 25mm pipe, so a good mains presure.

I would love to learn what would be the best system to install. I will be using thermostatic mixers for the showers, I have had bad experiances with electric showers.

I would like to have a low running cost system and low cost system to purchase. I have looked into Riva combi 32 h/e boiler plus an external gas water heater rinnai 26e.

I look forward to suggestions. THANK YOU

You'd have to wait until someone like the scruff, straker or poolcorgi comes on.

But i'm pretty sure you'd be better off going for an Unvented water set-up

For hot water you could use the Andrews instant water heaters.

I wouldn't call 25mm good, but that depends on the pressure as well

They are stand alone water heaters Yellowman, ideal large drawoff.
