I have a boiler plus a hot water tank. The pcb on my boiler is bust and I have options:I can replace the pcb for the second time in 6 years at a cost of around ?250, orI can replace the boiler (which is probably not very good and causing the pcb to blow) for a better one and keep the water tank, orI can rip out the whole system, get a combi boiler and also gain some much needed cupboard space. I would love to have a cupboard but will lose water pressure, which at the moment is pretty astounding! Anyone got experience of both these setups? Which would be preferable?Thanks.
although a bit more money, you could replace the boiler with the same (newer model, more efficient) and the hot water cylinder with a pressurised one, that way you will have Amazing hot water pressure still, as it can be installed in loft space as it is fed from cold water mains. combis are good if theirs a large family as you will never be without hot water, the pressure will be reasonable but not as good as pressurised cylinder
some day people will realize that boilers are antiques, go with an electric water heater, and a forced air furnace, for a trouble free system
