Boiler comparison,

[Pammie]

Hi, I need a new boiler. Currently have a Worcester combi. I've been looking at combi's but saw the storage combi and can't find much info anywhere on it. I work from home running a small salon and the storage combi from what I can find out seemed a better option but then reading some of the answers on this thread one person said it's not really worth it as the storage is small so I would most likely use all that during the day, but then apart from heating which I do like to have on, there is usually only me at home in the evenings so not really using gas for lots of people showering etc. Anyway advice is very welcome, thank you (I know it's a really old thread)

What's wrong with your current combi and what are you hoping to achieve that your current combi couldn't do?

Assuming it is a hair salon and only one hair washing sink in which case a combi is probably OK.

But if there are two sinks and both may be in use at the same time then the temperature of the hot water from the combi is likely to vary rapidly between when one sink is taking hot water and when two sinks are taking hot water at the same time. A small buffer store for hot water will slow the rate of change of temperature but not eliminate it.
