As people will know from my previous posts I have a very traditional system with the vented HWC in the airing cupboard. Back in March I had a new boiler, and everything is working nicely.
The only snag here is, I have no idea how old my cylinder is - I`ve been in this house for 10 years and it certainly wasn`t new then, so it`s age is anybody`s guess. Now due to this I have decided to splash out (play on words haha!) and have it replaced just for piece of mind as I dread coming home one day to find it has flooded my house.
Just weighing up the options is like for a like a good idea? Or go for unvented, convert the CH to sealed, and get rid of the roof tanks? I do like the idea of a dry loft as sub zero weather does worry me when it comes to water in the roof, but I don`t like the idea of loads of potential leaks caused by putting the hot water system onto mains pressure and then pressurising the CH system, as it`s all 45 years old now.
Which is the best path to take because I don`t know......
Thanks
