Hello,
Just after a bit of advice.
We moved into a house with a back boiler about 5 years ago, I know they don't make them anymore but according to the engineers when we get the annual service it's quite new and is pretty much the latest model before they stopped being manufactured. It works perfectly and has a fairly modern looking inoffensive fire front and we have no intention of replacing it as we're due to move in 2-3 years ...BUT our shower pressure is awful and it's got to the point I really need to do something about it.
We've had various plumbers round for advice which always tends to be to upgrade to a combi boiler, however one plumber suggested he could replace the vented cylinder to a brand new unvented one which he does quite a lot and would solve the issue of the shower pressure and would be half the price of a new boiler and less general upheaval/mess too.
I want to say yes to this option but just wanted to check first if anyone has had this done or can give any advice re pros and cons?
P.S We have discounted shower pumps and electric showers for various reasons.
