I need to relocate my boiler and hot water cylinder which are currently located in a utility room adjacent to the kitchen. We intend to knock through to create a larger kitchen. The options we are considering are as follows -
1. keep the current potterton kingfisher boiler in its current location and relocate the water cylinder to an upstairs bedroom (disadvantage is that we don't really want to lose the space).
2. change the boiler to a combi, leaving it in the same location and get rid of the hot water cylinder.
I realise option 2 will involve buying a new boiler but could somebody please advise on whether option 1 or 2 involves more pipework. I don't know what's involved in converting from one boiler system to another.
I also have a question about how effective a combi boiler is if you want a power shower. Can you use a pump with a combi boiler?
thanks
