It's about time I replaced the back boiler open vented system in our house to a more modern system.
We have two bathrooms served by a piddly cylinder which doesn't keep up with demand.
I know from searching for similar discussions that an unvented system would be the preferable solution, our heating engineer also said that the uv option is the best. However, the space for a separate boiler and cylinder is not there, so it's not an option. Whatever system we choose will have to sit in the airing cupboard where the existing cylinder is.
So we're left with the idea of a storage combi, while using the ex cw tank as a break tank with a monsoon extra to boost the cw feed to the combi.
So which brand and model should I go for? My installer reckons a wb highflow, he's installed them before and says that if the water flow and pressure are man enough then they are great, and he can offer them with a 4000 year warranty. But are there any others I should consider? I see viessmann do one which is pricier, and glow worm do a wall mounted one for about 1200 quid. Are either of these worth considering?
Thanks in advance for your advice
