A good solution for my house?

    Hi there,

    Looking for some advice. Our current boiler has died, and we're thinking about getting it replaced rather than repaired, as it looks like it's the heat exchanger, which won't be cheap. Also, our current boiler is a Vokera Mynute and most searches I've done about them aren't positive!

    Anyhow, I've been doing some research, and as is always the way, especially about something you don't know about, everyone seems to have different opinions! Some people think you almost *have* to have different heating zones, some say it's not needed, especially if you have TRVs on each radiator. Some people say you need both!

    Bord Gais's deal is approx. €3000 for a new boiler and the heating controls for different zones. I talked to another company, and they reckoned that for my house ( it's a small 3 Bed end of terrace Bungalow, about 800 sq ft ( 75 sq m ) with 8 radiators ), there's no need for heating zones, especially as they reckon the whole house would have to be 're-piped'. They think just a new boiler and TRVs would do. They're quoting just over €2000 for a Worchester Greenstar boiler, the TRVs would be more.

    So, opinions please? Are heating zones neccessary? Would TRVs on their own do the trick? Is the €2000 a good price? Is the Worchester Greenstar a good boiler? It's tempting to go with the Worchester and TRVs as it's cheaper and involves less work, no re-piping the house! Obviously that's important as we've no heating right now!

    Thanks in advance!

    J.
