It looks like I am stuck with my combi as that's what I have signed for....is there anyway of telling them not to take out the hot water cylinder and having the existing shower on the same set up and using the combi for the heating only? Space isn't an issue but I'm wondering about whether...

Hi I've made a couple of posts recently about the relative merits of mixer vs electric showers in light of a new combi boiler being fixed and thankfully I know what's best. However, someone has asked me why I am having a combi fitted if my ould cylinder system is working well enough. The...
