My Potterton Netaheat 10-16 is on its last legs. My Hotwater cylinder has not worked for years.
I have a 3 bed Terrace house with 2 small kids and another on the way.
As we are short of space we were hoping to upgrade to a new combi boiler in order to save on running costs and space(airing cupb & Loft tanks).Freind of the Mrs reckons her bills dropped significantly when she got a combi but not sure if she has any kids.
Ive got a corgi reg m8 who will do it cheap(without cutting corners) and have been offered a Worcester Greenstar 25SI combi. He did recommend just getting a heat only boiler and replace the airing cupboard tank and contols and pump and said a combi would be much more work and disruption for not so much benefit(he suggested 20% of bills) plus he needs to connect the mains gas(under the stairs) to the combi with a new thicker Pipe which would be a new eye-sore around my kitchen.
Questions i have is will a combi be adequate for my needs and what are the chances of being able to remove my Cold water tank in the loft if its got asbestos or is asbestos free. ie anyone know any estimated costs to remove these tanks.
Any advise on the above points would be helpful.
PS - Great forums BTW - Learnt so much recently about my heating system.
