Hello,
I’ve just moved into my new home and it’s got a baxi boiler (installed 2010) and cylinder. The house has a main family bathroom and we’ve got a shower ensuite. We don’t tend to take showers at the same times and there are only two adults and one child.
The only thing I’m not a fan of is the water pressure (Both showers do have electric pumps) and the space that the cylinder takes up. With the government announcing a potential green deal in the autumn I was thinking of switching to a combination boiler. I’d regain the space of a whole cupboard (cylinder) and better mains Cold pressure upstairs.
Looking for opinions from gas engineers and plumbers.
Is a combi boiler cheaper to run?
Will the new government deal cover this replacement or will it be like for like?
Are cylinders, water pumps more reliable?
Thank you,
Ricky
