This question has probably been asked a hundred times.
Which would you install in your home?
Combi boiler or unvented hot water system.
We are going to replace the whole system boiler and rads. Its a 4 bed house with two reception rooms, dining, kitchen, cloaks, en-suite and main bath.
Completely in a pickle as we have been getting different advise from different people.
The current situation is that the system is 16 years old. The house is generally on the cold side. The heating system is very noisy when on. There are 6 of us living here. If we go out as a family we always run out of hot water. Currently two power showers and traditional hot water tank. I must assume that its too small.
Been told that a megaflow unvented system is what we need with a very large tank. This plumber not keen on combis.
Also told that Ethos combi 54 is the boiler to have as it has a flow rate of 25litres/min. This plumber does not seem keen on the unvented system.
and I have read that you can have a combi with a hot water tank?????
Now we don't know where we stand?
All we want is to be warm in Winter. Be able to have hot water when going out. Run two showers at the same time if needed. Have hot water available at three outlets at the same time. Not have to wait 2 hours for the bath to fill with hot water. No loss in water pressure.
We have had a couple of combis in the past and never got on with them. Yet friends of ours have always had combis and think they are great.
I would appreciate some guidance.
