We have a small bungallow, and it has a Worcester Bosch 30Si combi boiler.
As the bungalow is now, it only has a single bathroom with electric shower and kitchen with Sink.
We also have a washing machine and dishwasher.
Problem we have is that the water pressure is shocking. We have problems with both cold feed and hot feed, although hot feed is the worst.
I have always hated the combi boilers, but as this is a boiler that was here when we bought a house, then have had no choice up to now.
We are planning on doing an extension above, and I was thinking as we are doing this now, we might as well replace the boiler.
So my question ( before I get a gas engineer in to have a chat with me officially) :
As there will be small loft space at the top, can I just get a new conventional boiler, with cylinder in the loft to get rid of the pressure issues?
If I do that, and have all 3 units ( boiler, cylinder and overflow) in the loft, does that then give me a better pressure around the house? I am thinking if I do that, then I can have a pumped shower upstairs and leave the electric as it downstairs. Nothing is worse than a horrible low pressure shower.
I am pretty sure that the 30Si as it is at the moment, will not be man enough to run another 5 radiators and a new bathroom.
Any help appreciated
