Chaffoteaux Corvec Britony II A

[Contax]

I have a 15 year old Ideal CH boiler with radiators and a hot water cylinder, just had heating engineer in to fix weak pilot that would not stay lit, all done within 2 hours of calling him, only used him once before 6 years ago when moved in to fit gas cooker, he said boiler will last another 15 years, he stripped everything cleaned all and it lit first click with nice strong pilot only £25, I have asked him to fit an extra 1000mm radiator in lounge to cure cold spot taking pipes from bungalow loft, he said £150, I said yes please. I am also interested in removing hot water cylinder and tanks so Ideal boiler just does radiators then fit a Chaffoteaux Corvec Britony II A in loft for hot water as it is expensive to heat a tank to use a tiny bit so I tend to use a kettle instead, he agreed with me but had never fitted this water heater so was not certain if still allowed under rules of condensing boilers, I have had this setup in 3 previous homes and found it great. Does anyone know if these multipoint gas heaters can be legally fitted as phone number on my old manual is discontinued so can't contact Chaffoteaux.

Sounds nuts to me.
How much HW do you think you could heat for the cost of installing a water heater! About a swimming pool...
Just insulate and time it.

Those water heaters are pretty grotty by today's standards.

A combi would be a little more expensive, but gain you the HW tank space, give you a decent pressure in the shower and be more efficient altogether than running your old boiler.
