Hi Everyone,
Wondered if people could pitch in with options for my current home setup.
My wife and I live in a 70’s bungalow with 2 bedrooms and one bathroom. We have an old warm air heating system which we actually really like. It is nice not having radiators and it warms the home quickly. Replacing this is not really an option as we do not want to switch to radiators.
This unfortunately means we currently have a 140L hot water immersion cylinder for out hot water. This is mainly for a pumped shower and 2 sinks. We run this for 4 hours a day but wondered if it is financially worth looking into alternative methods for hot water.
Our current HWC is in the same cupboard as the gas warm air unit so there is a gas supply in there and would be space should the cylinder be removed. I assume the warm exhaust vent might be able to be shared?
Is it possible to have a gas boiler just for the hot water needs we have, or is it not worth it when not using for central heating etc?
Are there gas boilers which work with current immersion tank installations?
If there are any boiler options what kind of costs would they involve (ball park figure), and would it be able to use our existing 3 bar pumped shower setup?
