We have bought a detached 1950s bungalow for our retirement that needs updating - we are looking at a new heating system, bathroom and kitchen plus some general repairs. The bungalow is of conventional construction with suspended floors and has 2 bedrooms and 2 reception rooms. The current non-condensing boiler (15 years old) is located in the kitchen which is on the opposite diagonal corner from the bathroom. If we have a combi boiler installed in the present location there will be a long run for the hot water to get to the bathroom. We use the shower twice every day and neither shower is quite as quick as it should be. Meanwhile the bathroom is long and narrow and the only external wall is all window. As such having the new boiler installed in the bathroom doesn't seem viable and there really isn't anywhere else other than the loft which I assume would bring servicing issues. Are we better to:
Have a new combi boiler installed in the present location and take the hit on wasted water?
Have a new combi boiler installed in the present location and use an electric shower?
Have a new condensing boiler but retain a water tank?
Or is there any other alternative?
Newbie, hope I have posted correctly and thanks for any thoughts.
