    Swapping boiler for more powerful model?

    Currently have a Potterton Performa 24i HE in our extended 3 bed semi which was installed new when we refurbed the house a couple of years ago. We've never been happy with the performance - it takes for ever to run a bath and you can't wash up & have a shower at the same time unless you like...

    What boiler? Rough price guestimates?

    Thanks for all the advice. I certainly hadn't considered a number of things (how to get a cylinder into the loft, weight on the joists etc). Looks like lots of interesting discussions to be had with our fitter (anyone know a good one near the Dartford Tunnel? :)) We'd like to get a power...

    What boiler? Rough price guestimates?

    It's a lot of space - the cupboard containing the tank is shower-cubicle sized, which is what we intend to install in its place. We've not got an airing cupboard in our current house and haven't missed it :)
