[QUOTE="gbateman1066, post: 543765, member: 36610"] Hi, my wife and I have decided to bite the bullet re the costs of an electric combi boiler in an off-gas grid one bedroom flat where space is so tight we need to get the old LPG boiler out of the kitchen and have an electric combi in an internal cupboard. Questions: we are looking to get an Elnur Mattira 14kW combi (heat output for the "rain style" shower (no bath) is driving the capacity, rather than the room heating needs). Does anyone have anything to report on this make/model of combi boiler, including anything not good about it? (Apart from being unable to find any user reports on this make, an advantage along with the claimed hot water flow rate is the size for getting in the cupboard.) To add one further point: the property is not well insulated (concrete floor, old non-cavity stone walls) so any form of heat pump would seem to be out of the question. Second, the combi would be mounted on the wall above a washing machine in the same cupboard: any problems envisaged/experienced? To allay the fears of the professionals, I should add that I checked the incoming single phase supply: what was at one time called the 'company fuse' is marked as 100A, and on my side of the meter the isolating switch/fuse has an 80A cartridge fuse in it, so that would appear OK for the expected loads. Having decided what combi we want and its location we shall pass the work to a qualified electrician to get it done right and signed off properly! [/QUOTE]
