Hi all. Just after a bit of advice on a new boiler. Currently getting a few quotes to go from a system to combi. Had 2 similar quotes , one for Ideal Standard and one for Veissman. Which would you recommend ? Thanks in advance Jon

This is all new to me !, when a non combi boiler breaks down would you still get hot water at the taps ? With there only being 2 of us here, both working full time , so not using huge amounts of hot water ,we would constantly be reheating the same water, surely not cost effective ?

Thanks very much for the info it's really helpful. So with having an electric shower I would probably be better having a combi as it would only heat the water ,say for the bathroom and kitchen sinks , when needed instead of storing far more water than we require?

Not 100% to be honest , it's mustard coloured and size roughly 4' x 16" capacity size wise I don't know

What colour? ..forgive my ignorance !

This will sound awful but basically we've had problems with the boiler for a while, well not actually the boiler...To get heat or water we've just been flicking a switch and turning the boiler on and off so we always get both, heat and hot water , we can't get either individually!. I assume...

Hi all, just after a bit of advice before I make a fool of myself ! . I'm not sure what heating system I have , I have a Valiant boiler in the loft which only has one small tank beside it and a cylinder in the bathroom below. I'm considering getting the boiler and cylinder removed and a combi...
